Fitzgerald is Finalist for USA Today/NADA
Dealer Innovation Award
The recent New York Auto Show was also the scene of yet another honor for Jack Fitzgerald, chairman of Fitzgerald Auto Malls and WANADAês Immediate past chairman. Fitzgerald was one of four national finalists for the 2007 USA Today/NADA Dealer Innovation Award.
The award, won by Jim Hand, Hand Motors, Manchester, Vt., recognizes dealers who have taken a leadership role by implementing effective dealership initiatives to save energy, reduce utility costs, and help protect the environment.
Fitzgerald Auto Malls embarked on a mission last year to track energy use at each of its 12 locations (see WANADA Bulletin 15-07, April 26, 2007). The dealer group also joined the Clean Energy Partnership in Maryland, became the first auto dealer group to become an EPA Green Power Partner (all of Fitzgeraldês dealerships in Maryland use wind power) and established an Environmental Management System that encompasses every facet of dealership operations.
