NAMAD: National Association of Minority Automobile Dealers
The Jimenez family's journey in automotive retail has earned recognition at the highest levels of the industry, including NAMAD: the National Association of Minority Automobile Dealers. There was a NAMAD national panel held with executives from OEM, current auto dealers, potential future auto dealers and many other attendees.
