EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
W
e are about to close out a very challenging year, to say the least. I am not sure that anyone will miss 2020!
When I review the content in this issue, it looks like we are paranoid or something. It just turned out that way. We have three articles in this issue that will help you prepare against known and unwanted threats: Cyber-crime, money laundering and Active Threat Preparedness. Many of you will be happy to learn that, for 2021 I killed the Auction App. We are going back to punch cards. We have some 2021 casualties as Copart and IAA will not be participating in the program. As I write this column, we are still awaiting word from several auctions. Cards will go out as early in 2021 as I can get them printed. Please be patient, you have until December 31, 2021 to use all the discounts.
We are working on a number of other program enhancements that I will be able to announce in the next magazine, a Special Edition we are planning for December. As the Holiday Season approach, we at WSIADA wish you and your family a safe a Happy Thanksgiving. I will have another column out before Christmas, but I will wish you all a Merry Christmas twice this year, you deserve it for surviving COVID-19 restrictions. Happy selling!
Todd C. Elliott, WSIADA
The Association is in a good position financially and I am happy to report that we will have our building paid off by the end of the year. It is a good building in a strategically decent location. Close to DAA Seattle, Manheim Seattle and ADESA Seattle. Always nice to be debt free!
