DealerELITE was founded in March of 2010, by Chris Saraceno and Mike Myers.  Their original vision was to create a small network of the elite automotive leaders to share best practices with one another.

Chris and Mike initially invited a few of the "Best and Brightest" in the industry to share their knowledge with one another with the goal of advancing the automotive industry through a collaborative effort.  This elite group of founding members, including Jim Ziegler, Grant Cardone, Dave Anderson, Cliff Banks, Dale Pollack, and Brian Benstock then pushed the site beyond the original vision by inviting friends, colleagues, and clients to join and share their ideas as well.

DealerELITE has since become the fastest growing automotive social site in the world.  The members' unique purpose is to bring automotive professionals together, believing that through effective collaboration the industry can improve and achieve new levels of performance.
