Since its founding in 1917, WANADA's primary mission has been to represent and promote the retail automobile business in the Washington Metropolitan area. The Auto Technician Development Program of WANADA’s Automobile Dealer Education Institute (ADEI) has earned a five-year renewal of its Master Automobile Service Technology Accreditation. That is the highest level of achievement recognized by the National Automotive Technician Education Foundation (NATEF), the educational arm of ASE, the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. “It’s quite an accomplishment,” says Steve Boden WANADA’s educational curriculum advisor on ADEI programing who is also executive vice president of the Automotive Trades Foundation. ATF is the partnership between Montgomery County Public Schools and the local business community, including WANADA, that trains high school students by having them man a licensed used-car dealership. ADEI Tech Development is currently offered at Montgomery College in Rockville and Marshall Academy in Falls Church.
