PR Log (Press Release) – Dec 21, 2009 – Kevin P Reilly, Owner/President of Alexandria Hyundai in Virginia, was selected by the Washington Area New Auto Dealers Association (WANADA) to receive the Northwood Dealer Education Award for 2009.

For the past 39 years, Northwood University has recognized individuals in the retail auto industry who have made noteworthy contributions to education, public or private, at any level, inside or outside the automobile business.

Mr. Reilly is a graduate of Georgetown University, and holds a law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law, and an MBA from Duke University.

Mr. Reilly was appointed to Motor Vehicle Dealer Board by Governor Warner in 2005, and was re-appointed for another four-year term in 2009.  He has served as Chairman of the Franchise Committee and currently serves as Chairman of the Dealer Practices Committee, whose pivotal role is to educate and inform dealers on their obligations to consumers.

Recently, Mr. Reilly played a key role in the government’s widely successful CARS program, better known as Cash for Clunkers. Mr. Reilly served as dealer liaison to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and helped refine the dealer submission, re-submission and approval process. He also participated as a principal speaker on NADA “Cash-for-Clunkers” webinars, educating thousands of dealers on how to successfully navigate the Cash-for-Clunkers submission process.

Mr. Reilly has been WANADA’s spokesperson to the Washington Regional Alcohol Program’s (WRAP) Sober Ride campaign on St. Patrick’s Day, which has significantly reduced the number of drunk drivers on the roads during this holiday.

Mr. Reilly has been a consistent supporter of education in Alexandria and has received the Hopkins House “Heart of Community” Award for his contributions to the City of Alexandria.
