Over the years, the Coalition has developed a long list of programs and services that deliver real value to the members. Andmember par- ticipation in those programs generates more than 90% of the revenue necessary to fund Coalition advocacy, education and management training programs. The Coalition consistently holds up its end of the bargain. While nobody expects 100% of the membership to utilize every product and service offered by the Coalition, it’s frustrating to see that so many of our programs are under-utilized. These are programs that, given a chance, can really improve efficien- cies and save your dealership money. Give NJ CAR an opportunity to earn your business. You’ll not only help yourself, you’ll help the organization that helps dealers. Even if you choose to remain with your current vendor, the feedback about why your dealership chose NOT to utilize a particular product or service offered by the Coalition will be incredibly useful. For several years,NJCARhas beenmaintaining a BetterByAssociation webpage that provides informationon virtually all of the products and services offered by the Coalition in one location. You can learn more about the Coalition’s products and services by visiting this resource. For those of youwhomay not be aware of just howmuchNJCARhas to offer, following is a sampling of what the Coalition has developed either in-house or in cooperation with respected vendors. NJ CAR Services, Inc. and the Coalition’s Motor Vehicle Opera- tions, two of our longest-running programs, serve hundreds of dealers every month; month in and month out, year after year.
