Purpose and History

In 1939 the Stark County Automobile Dealers Association, SCADA, was formed:

 

“to promote, advance, and maintain general welfare of the Automotive business in the City of Canton, Ohio, and the vicinity thereof …” Using today’s technology, SCADA’s activities, products and services continue to serve its founding purpose."

National and state associations serve its member dealers best by: representing/lobbying for your political interests in state and national congresses; by offering a broad range of products and services; and by providing annual conventions.
