On May 26, join Virginia Automobile Dealers Association Legislative Team Don Hall, Anne Gambardella, and Ralston King as well as VADA outside legal counsel, Mike Charapp, for this informative annual event via Zoom.

Sign up to attend our May 26 Legal & Legislative Update via Zoom (9:30-11am). You’ll learn:
> How to avoid the same FTC fates of some dealers — like a $10 million agreement by a large Midwest dealer group, or a $1 million assurance of compliance by a dealer in Maryland.
> How to protect your dealership from bait and switch charges
> How to avoid TILA advertising violations involved in most FTC consent orders with new car dealers
> The DOs and DON’Ts of advertising under Virginia Motor Vehicle Dealer Board advertising regulations
> To protect your stores against charges by an emboldened FTC and CFPB about discrimination in financing and sale of voluntary protection products
