PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Terri Magana

ADOMA
Executive Board President

2026-2028

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

I am honored and excited to serve as President of ADOMA. This year marks a very special milestone for me—39 years in the automobile industry. I began my career in 1987 at Thorson GMC Buick in Pomona, California, where I started as a cashier. From there, I worked my way through every desk in the dealership business office. That experience allowed me to learn the business from the ground up and gave me an appreciation for the many roles and people who help make a dealership successful.

Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in dealership accounting, financial operations, business management, manufacturer requirements, and overall business office operations. But some of the most valuable lessons I have learned have come from the people I have worked with and the relationships I have built throughout my career.

Thank you Platinum Vendor Sponsors
