Ford Motor Company honored Joe Chastang for his community contributions at the 2024 Salute to Dealers reception during the annual National Automobile Dealers Association convention in Las Vegas this past February.

Salute to Dealers is a Ford Motor Company initiative that recognizes and honors dealer principals who have gone above and beyond in their communities. They dedicate time and resources to help improve the lives of others through their support of countless charitable causes providing help and hope to so many.

Joe and the Chastang Ford family donate to several animal protection charities, but their main focus is the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and the University of Houston.

“I think we just try to do the right thing, and it’s not that we have to try; it’s who we are,” said Joe.

Dealers from around the globe were nominated for the annual award. A panel of judges selected the honorees based on the dealer’s individual activities, length of participation and personal motivation. In recognition of the honorees’ service to their communities, Ford held a reception on February 1, preceding the annual National Automobile Dealers Association convention in Las Vegas.
