Valery Voyles is Georgia's 2013 TIME Dealer of the Year

GADA is proud to announce Georgia's 2013 TIME Dealer of the Year nominee Valery Voyles, CEO/Chairman of the Ed Voyles Automotive Group. 

 

A second-generation dealer, Voyles grew up going to the dealership with her father, Ed, working after school and during summers. She officially entered the business in 1990, when her children were of school age. When her father passed away in 2004, Voyles took over as CEO/Chairman. Under her leadership, the Ed Voyles dealerships have been more profitable than ever before, and have earned numerous distinguished factory awards, including the Honda President's Award, Acura Precision Team Award and Hyundai Board of Excellence award. She credits having a loyal, hard-working and knowledgeable management team and employees for the longevity and success of the Ed Voyles dealerships.

 

Voyles is a new member of the GADA Board of Directors, beginning her term in July 2012. She also serves on the Shepherd Center Foundation and Cumberland Academy of Georgia's boards of directors; Cobb County Chamber of Commerce advisory board; and the Cobb Energy Performance Arts Centre advisory committee.

 

The Ed Voyles dealerships are heavily involved in their communities, contributing to the United Way, American Red Cross, March of Dimes and other organizations, and sponsoring the Teacher of the Year program since 2007. Voyles, a breast cancer survivor, also gives much of her personal time and funds to various cancer charities. She is proud of the Ed and Dora Voyles Breast Health Center at St. Joseph's Hospital, a cancer treatment center named after her late parents. 

 

Voyles and her husband, Rob Jordan, are parents to a blended family of five. She is enjoying seeing the third generation of the Voyles family enter the business. Her daughter and nephew sell cars, while her son will soon attend dealer school and join the family business as well. Voyles will attend the 2013 NADA Convention in Orlando (Feb. 8-11, 2013), where she and other state award nominees will be honored. Congratulations to Valery Voyles on her nomination!
