The North American Equipment Dealers Association (NAEDA) is proud to announce Paul T. Combs, President of Baker Implement Company, as the 2025 Dealer Advocate of the Year. The award was presented Tuesday, November 18th at the North American Dealer Conference in Orlando, Florida.
Government affairs, both federal and state, remain a cornerstone of NAEDA’s mission. While the association works daily to represent equipment dealers’ interests, the most impactful advocacy happens when dealers themselves step forward to testify before legislative committees, explain how proposed laws affect their businesses, and build relationships with policymakers.
The Dealer Advocate of the Year Award recognizes a dealer whose efforts have significantly contributed to positive policy outcomes for the equipment industry. It honors those who not only participate in advocacy, but who go well beyond expectations. This year’s recipient, Mr. Paul T. Combs, exemplifies that commitment.
