    Why NPDA Matters: Dealer Connect, Advocacy, and the Future of Powersports with Tigra Tsujikawa

    The National Powersports Dealer Association (NPDA) has grown into the voice dealers didn’t know they needed. In this episode, Jacob Berry sits down with NPDA Membership Marketing Director Tigra Tsujikawa to dig into why the association exists, how it’s giving dealers a seat at the table, and why events like Dealer Connect are unlike any other trade show. From fighting for dealer-friendly provisions in national legislation, to launching the EDGE learning program, to creating Dealer Connect as a dealer-built, dealer-led event, the NPDA is reshaping how dealers work together and grow stronger. If you’re a dealership manager, GM, or owner who wants to understand why unity and advocacy matter right now, this conversation will show you what NPDA is building and why you need to be part of it.
