Executive Director’s Corner

WSIADA Bids Farewell To Our Executive Director Todd C. Elliott

It was a sad day on New Years Eve 2020 as the Association learned that our Executive Director, Todd Elliott, had passed away from complications due to his battle with Stage IV Lung Cancer. Todd had been part of the WSIADA family since 2015 and was instrumental in providing knowledge, integrity, and friendship to dealers he worked with. His goal was to bring the WSIADA into the 21st century with updated systems for ordering, education and more. His sudden passing was a shock to many who interacted with Todd on a daily basis, either through meetings or email. Those who have emailed the Association provided incredibly positive, kind and thoughtful statements toward Todd and what his time with the Association had meant to them. At the time of this article, Todd’s widow has declined a funeral gathering because of COVID-19. Should anything change, the WSIADA will make an announcement to all those Todd made a positive impression on.
