The AFSA Auto Finance Division is focusing on three objectives that will be discussed by Advisory Board members at the March 25-26 Auto Finance Forum in Orlando:

1. To develop a closer working relationship with the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) on important issues, such as consumer education

2. To share the work of the auto finance committees of both the AFSA SGR and Law Committees and Federal Government Affairs projects impacting auto finance with decision makers and Division members

3. To determine the proper structure to facilitate and utilize information and work with legal and regulatory groups toward policy development and industry standards.
