NAEDA Gets New Name, Leaders

The North American Equipment Dealers Association (NAEDA) announced that it has rebranded the association in order to communicate that the association is evolving, engage positive perceptions, and draw attention to the renewed focus of the organization. Effective immediately, the association’s new name will be the Equipment Dealers Association.

The board of directors determined that dropping the geographic descriptor better aligned the organization with the regional equipment dealer associations and strengthened its position as the largest international organization for equipment dealers.

The Equipment Dealers Association (formerly the North American Equipment Dealers Association) has elected a new board. Members are:

Canada–Jim Backus, general manager, Kubota Country

Great Lakes–Mark Leather, co-owner and manager, Farm Depot

Gulf Coast–Randy Anderson, co-owner, Progressive Solutions Holdings (dba AimTrac)
