When you work at Ruge’s Auto Group, opportunities abound for professional and personal development!

As an example, several of our team members recently completed a comprehensive educational program called NADA Academy. The Academy includes a series of courses on financial management, parts management, service management, vehicle inventory, marketing, vehicle sales, associate management, business leadership, and more.

NADA (National Automobile Dealers Association) represents more than 16,000 new-car dealers throughout the country. The organization advocates, trains, and engages in research, with a goal of “accelerating success for the automotive retail industry.”

Said Kristin Ruge Hutchins, President at Ruge’s Auto Group: “Our involvement with NADA empowers us with incredible resources, information, and tools that help us achieve our goal of being the premier automotive sales and service center in the Hudson Valley. And their Academy has been a great way for some of our managers to gain industry knowledge while honing their leadership skills. We have always valued professional development at Ruge’s, and the NADA Academy has offered an excellent return on our investment. Attendees get to learn from industry experts, and gain real confidence, insight, and clarity when it comes to running every aspect of a successful business. It is a win for everyone!”

Ryan Kelly, Sales Manager at Ruge’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, reflected on his own experience with NADA Academy.

“There are many perks to building a career at Ruge’s - and for me, NADA Academy has been one of them. It means so much to work for a company that values ongoing professional development, and I am so glad I had the chance to experience this program. I gained so much knowledge, and more importantly, a better understanding of how I can lead effectively. The classes covered topics that are relevant to my daily responsibilities, and I feel better prepared for anything that comes up having had this training. I’m really grateful and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who has the chance to go.”

Added Kristin: “I really appreciate and respect the fact that our team members enthusiastically participate in professional development programs like NADA Academy. We are proud to work with colleagues who are committed to learning and growing - both personally and professionally. I applaud their dedication and I think that ultimately, it not only makes them stronger leaders, but it also helps them deliver better experiences for our customers as well.”
