The nomination of Gan Nunnally, executive manager at George Nunnally Chevrolet Inc. in BENTONVILLE, AR for the 2017 TIME Dealer of the Year award was announced today by TIME.
Nunnally is one of a select group of 49 dealer nominees from across the country who will be honored at the 100th annual National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Convention & Exposition in New Orleans, Louisiana, on January 27, 2017. The announcement of this year's nominees was made by Meredith Long, SVP: GM, News & Luxury, TIME, and Tim Russi, president of Auto Finance for Ally Financial.
The TIME Dealer of the Year award is one of the automobile industry's most prestigious and highly coveted honors. Recipients are among the nation's most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service. Nunnally, 47, was chosen to represent the Arkansas Automobile Dealers Association in the national competition - one of only 49 auto dealers from 16,000 nationwide - nominated for the 48th annual award.
"Being a part of our local community has been very rewarding," nominee Nunnally said. "The retail automotive business has afforded me the resources and opportunity to give back, and my goal is to help the youth of our area realize their own dreams."
