The Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association
The Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association (GNYADA) has brought its dedication to community service to East Side House Settlement for two decades by opening the doors of the New York International Auto Show for the annual Gala Preview benefit. The GNYADA partnership with East Side House is one of several philanthropic initiatives that the Association embraces throughout the year, which demonstrates the collective commitment to the community of auto dealers across our area. Franchise new car dealers have a long history of making a positive difference in the communities in which they live and work.
The New York International Auto Show
The New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) is North America’s first and largest-attended auto show. It showcases the latest technological advances and design innovation taking place in the automobile industry. More than one million people attend the show each year, generating over $300 million in economic benefit to the New York City area. As a result, the Show has received many awards from the communications, marketing and event planning industries in recognition of its outstanding work in producing a truly world class event.
