I learned early what leadership was and, more importantly, what leadership was not. Leadership is about serving those you are leading and helping set them up to succeed, not the other way around.
My name is Christopher Daigle. I am pleased and excited to announce that I am your new Membership Success Manager. My roles include growing new members while assuring our current members’ needs are met in both the New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association (NHADA) and the newly launched Maine Independent Motor Vehicle Association (MIMVA).
My goal is to build on the foundation created by the great team at NHADA, including Lisa Lavoie, who first led the membership role. I have big shoes to fill, but I am up for the challenge as I am a dreamer and a go-getter. I strongly believe that with the strength of the NHADA, we will continue to grow in NH and Maine.
Though my experience in the industry is new, my heart is in it. I have nearly 15 years experience serving business owners and GMs in various roles. My passion has always been learning the heart of an organization and becoming a representative for it. I have been privileged to be trusted as a face of the company in each organization I have served. As I navigate the roads of the automotive world, I am confident I will serve your businesses and these associations as if they were my own. I look forward to earning your trust with my actions and results.
My greatest achievements in life are not business related, however. My first greatest achievement is that I found an amazing woman I made my wife. Alise and I have been married for three years. My second and third greatest achievements are named Harper Joy and Selah Grace; my two daughters, both of whom are under the age of two. Family and work aside, you can always find me continuing my passion for sports. Between training for a marathon, pickleball, basketball, and baseball, it is safe to say I am competitive. Being a captain of my teams my senior year, I learned early what leadership was, and what it wasn’t. Leadership is about serving those you are leading and helping set them up to succeed, not the other way around.
Though we cannot save the world, you may find that I make sure I at least try. I look forward to the future of NHADA, MIMVA and the automotive industry. The future is bright, and I am blessed to be part of the storyline. I look forward to getting to know all of you. If you need anything, you can always reach me by email at cdaigle@NHADA.com.
