The numbers contained in these reports have direct influence on policymakers, manufacturers, and the media. It drives our desired change within the industry, because it reflects the enormous positive effects that our dealers have on their communities. Please complete and return this year’s survey, which can be accessed online at www.gnyada.com/survey . You can also com- plete the enclosed hardcopy version. (A separate survey must be filled out for each dealership.) For more copies, contact Jennifer Berman at 718.746.5900 or jennifer@gnyada.com .
