Dear Readers,

GREG REE, Business Development

Before introducing our cover story this month, we want to start
by saying your well-being is of our utmost concern. After closely
monitoring COVID-19, we have cancelled Digital Dealer Orlando - a
decision that was driven by our commitment to ensuring your health
and safety. Our next Digital Dealer event is scheduled for September
15-17, 2020, in Las Vegas.
We will continue to bring you monthly educational resources and
insight from thought leaders, such as Maureen Bailey, featured in our
cover story this month. Maureen Bailey of Subaru of Moon Township.
Subaru of Moon Township is part of the Lithia Motors family, which
is one of the largest providers of personal transportation solutions in
the U.S., and among the fastest-growing companies in the Fortune
500. The store is a 2019 J.D. Power Dealer of Excellence Award
winner, as well as a recent winner of the Subaru Love Promise Award
for Customer and Community Commitment.
Maureen Bailey was recently promoted from general sales
manager to assistant general manager at Subaru of Moon Township.
Previously, she held executive and senior leadership positions at
Autosoft, Inc. and Cochran Automotive Group. At Cochran, Maureen
led the landmark opening of the company's ﬁrst BDC and developed
and implemented an enterprise-wide corporate sales transparency
process as director of process development. In 2014, Maureen
received the Woman of the Year Award from the National Association
of Professional Women for outstanding professional achievement.
In the cover story interview on page 18, Maureen shares both her
successes, as well as the challenges she has faced and how she has
overcome them. We hope you enjoy this issue.
Stay safe and healthy,

Matthew Ramirez
