Jeff Strickland, executive vice president and president,
Assurant Global Automotive, presented the contribution to Annette
Sykora, chairwoman of the NADA Foundation Board of Trustees, and
Andy Koblenz from the NADA Foundation on the Live Stage at NADA
Show 2025, hosted in New Orleans this week.
This is Assurant’s sixth consecutive donation to the NADA
Foundation. The donation will support the NADA Workforce
Initiative, promoting careers that provide competitive salaries,
great benefits, and excellent opportunities for advancement in
dealerships nationwide.
“The demand for automotive employees with high-tech skills will
continue to grow as new automotive technology, including electric
vehicles and greater connectivity, continues to evolve,” said
Strickland. “We have stood with our dealers for 60 years, helping
them find new ways to thrive as the automotive retail landscape
evolves. Through this ongoing support, we’re pleased to help bring
up the next generation of service technicians for those
dealerships.”
The NADA Foundation’s Workforce Initiative was founded in 2018
to address the shortage of service technicians through promotion of
the job benefits and improved access to resources about programs,
scholarships, and opportunities. In recent years, the NADA
Foundation has broadened the initiative to enhance recruitment of
all dealership roles and within all departments. The centralized
resources offer a brand-neutral tool for recruiting talent and
sparking an interest in dealership careers.
"We are encouraged with the positive outcomes we've achieved
through this initiative and thankful to our industry partners like
Assurant for their support,” said Sykora. “Our dealership teams are
the cornerstone of our success as dealers. The tools provided by
this program are instrumental in helping us attract, hire, develop,
and retain top talent within our dealerships."
Since 2019, the Assurant Foundation has donated $165,000 to the
NADA Foundation. For more details, visit nadafoundation.org.
