The countdown is on: We’re just days away from the fabulous CD/NLA Show at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center from October 13-16. But procrastinators rejoice! There’s still time to register for the event of the season—and save some money. Simply head to cdnlashow.com and sign up for four days of education, networking and fun. And don’t forget, NLA members save $75 off the price of admission.
One of the great things about the CD/NLA Show is that it gives local and regional associations a voice and common place to work together. Whether it’s the Association Summit (discussed in last week’s enews) or at a booth on the show floor, through our event, associations get the opportunity to meet with current and prospective members and discuss issues facing the industry. At this year’s show at the Gaylord National, two regional groups—the Maryland Livery Association (MLA) and Virginia Limousine Association (VLA)—are teaming up in their backyard to hold an open meeting. Co-moderated by MLA President Len Joseph of On The Town Limousines and VLA President Bill Kerr of Camryn Executive Transportation, and sponsored by Advantage Remarketing Solutions, all operators are invited to join the MLA and VLA meeting on Tuesday, October 15, from 8:15 a.m.-9:30 a.m. for on-point programming that includes several guest speakers. The MLA and VLA are pleased to welcome NLA President Brett Barenholtz of Above All/Boston Car/ETS/Maine Limousine, who will be on hand to discuss the importance of local associations and speak about the two associations’ partnership with the national organization. Also speaking is Jennifer Matthews from the Metro Washington Airport Authority, who will address pressing issues with ground transportation at the local airports. This is a stellar opportunity for operators from within the Maryland/D.C. area—and beyond—to get keyed in on what’s happening regionally.
In the meantime, don’t forget to sign up for the Operator Mentoring Program, happening on Sunday, October 13, at 4:30 p.m. Seating is limited to this event and preregistration is required. Click here to select your mentor today.

BCF celebrated 25 years (L to R): NYC TLC Commissioner David Do, BCF Executive Director Ira Goldstein, and BCF CFO/CCO David Perine
Ira Goldstein, executive director of the New York Black Car Fund (BCF), has been honored as The Transportation Alliance’s (TTA’s) 2024 Advocate of the Year. Goldstein was celebrated at an awards ceremony during TTA’s Mobilize 2024 Convention in Dallas on October 1 for his longstanding dedication to the industry as well as his lobbying efforts on behalf of the tens of thousands of independent drivers that BCF represents. Goldstein, who is also on the TTA Board of Directors, has been recognized by the association in the past, most recently as the 2020 Executive of the Year.
TTA is among the oldest transportation associations in the country. Formerly known as the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association, the longtime organization advocates for taxicab companies, executive sedan and limousine services, airport shuttle fleets, non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) companies, and paratransit services.
The plaudits coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Black Car Fund, which was established to provide workers’ compensation coverage and other benefits to the black car operators in New York. Goldstein joined BCF in 2010, and under his exceptional leadership, BCF has implemented programs to streamline workers’ compensation, increase driver safety, and expand benefits to include health insurance at no cost to drivers.
BCF marked the milestone occasion with a celebration at the TWA Hotel, located at New York’s JFK Airport, on September 17. The evening’s guest list was a who’s who of New York transportation professionals, including Matt Daus of Windels Marx and Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) Commissioner David Do, to name a few.
Daus, who is also a former TLC commissioner and current International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) president, congratulated Goldstein in his daily newsletter for his award from TTA: “Ira is a ‘one-of-a-kind’ tenacious advocate and representative of the industry. He deeply cares about the industry and has continued his public service orientation after being the tech architect at TLC of so many innovative projects by effectively representing the black car and limousine industry in NYC and through his adept management of the NY Black Car Fund, which has helped countless drivers. Ira is a close friend, confidant and, might I add, a ‘true mensch’ overall. Kudos to the TTA for acknowledging our Ira, as he is truly an inspiration to so many and his good work has and will continue to benefit so many people. Congratulations!”
Goldstein has been recognized for his work in the past. He was given the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s first annual 9/11 Commemoration Hero for Tolerance award, and the League of Mutual Taxi Owners’ “Man of the Year” award. He has also received an award for Corporate Social Responsibility in the Banking, Finance, and Insurance fields from City & State Reports, and was again named to the “Transportation Power 100” list this year from City & State New York (#65), alongside Do (#15) and Daus (#68).
