The National Association of Minority Automobile Dealers (NAMAD) is a small nonprofit trade organization established in 1980 to represent ethnic minority automobile dealers across the United States. Based in the Washington, D.C. area with an office in Largo, Maryland, it aims to expand opportunities for minority entrepreneurs and employees throughout automotive retail, service, and manufacturing, noting that minority ownership comprises about 5% of the roughly 19,000 new-car dealerships. NAMAD operates as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization that seeks to foster collaboration with domestic and international manufacturers to create reciprocal trading partnerships and broaden industry representation. The association emphasizes developing markets, talent, and capital for dealers, manufacturers, and consumers. A recent development is NAMAD's announcement of its 46th Annual Conference, scheduled to be held in Miami on August 11, 2026.
