Voting for 2015 Dealers’ Choice Awards to Open March 16
TORRANCE, Calif. — The publishers of Auto Dealer Monthly have announced that voting for the 2015 Dealers’ Choice Awards will open Monday, March 16 and continue through Wednesday, April 15. The awards are voted upon by dealers and dealership personnel and recognize the industry’s leading third-party vendors, suppliers and finance companies.
“We are extremely proud of our awards program and the exposure it brings to companies, both large and small, that help dealers succeed,” said David Gesualdo, publisher of Auto Dealer Monthly and F&I and Showroom. “I encourage dealers to weigh in and recognize the best partners our industry has to offer.”
This year’s program will include 29 categories, including two new categories: Compliance Training and F&I Technology. Voters who complete at least five categories will be eligible to win one of two Amazon Fire HD 7 tablet computers.
The winners of the 2015 Dealers’ Choice Awards will be announced in June and listed in the July issue of ADM. For the second consecutive year, representatives of winning companies will convene for an awards ceremony at September’s Industry Summit.
