The North American Equipment Dealers Association (NAEDA) has made a significant move in its leadership by appointing Nancy Malone as Vice President of NAEDA Canada. With over two decades of experience in association management, Malone’s background includes a notable nine-year tenure as Managing Director of the John Deere Construction & Forestry Equipment Dealers Association. Her extensive experience positions her well to navigate the complexities of the equipment dealership landscape in Canada.
In her new role, Malone is set to play a pivotal part in enhancing NAEDA’s initiatives across Canada. She will engage directly with members, industry leaders, and stakeholders to strengthen advocacy efforts, develop educational programs, and drive strategic goals for the association. Her expertise in policy and government relations, coupled with a solid understanding of dealership operations, will be crucial as she seeks to equip Canadian dealers with the necessary tools and resources to thrive amid evolving market conditions.
Kim Rominger, President and CEO of NAEDA, expressed enthusiasm about Malone joining the leadership team, highlighting her proven track record in government affairs and her commitment to building strong relationships within the dealership community. This is particularly important in a sector that faces ongoing challenges, including regulatory changes and market fluctuations. Malone’s experience in both public and private sectors, particularly her role at the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors, underscores her ability to foster collaborative partnerships essential for advancing the interests of equipment dealerships.
As Malone steps into her new position, she replaces Larry Hertz, who has held the role previously. The transition marks a new chapter for NAEDA Canada, with Malone poised to address the unique challenges and opportunities faced by the equipment dealership industry. Her commitment to working alongside members signals a proactive approach to shaping the future of the industry in Canada. The implications of her leadership could be far-reaching, potentially leading to enhanced advocacy and support for dealers as they navigate a rapidly changing marketplace.
