WANADA is pleased to announce that Geoffrey P. Pohanka of the Pohanka Automotive Group has been reelected as the NADA director for Metropolitan Washington.

“I appreciate the confidence WANADA members have placed in me, and I commit to continue working hard to represent the dealer’s views in all matters before the manufacturers and government policy makers,” said Pohanka.

Pohanka currently serves on the NADA Regulatory Affairs and Finance committees. In the industry affairs area, he is the franchise representative for Saturn and serves on the GM Policy Committee, which meets three times a year with top GM sales and service leadership to offer dealer feedback and make recommendations on current and planed GM programs.

Pohanka also has served on the NADA Public Affairs Committee, as well as the Isuzu National Dealer Council and the Honda Dealer Council’s Service/Parts Subcommittee.

Previously, Pohanka was vice chairman on NADA’s Project 2000 Committee, on the NADA/ GM Dealer Advisory Committee from 1993 through 1996, and was a member of the Saturn Franchise Operations Team from 1993 through 1995. Pohanka was chairman of WANADA in 1998-1999.

Pohanka said he will soon be sending a letter to WANADA members outlining his accomplishments in his first term as NADA director and his goals during his second term.
