Raising awareness of women in the specialty-equipment industry is a top priority of the SEMA Businesswomen’s Network (SBN). As such, the network provides year-round networking, education, and recognition opportunities for professional women in the industry to help them excel in their careers and positively impact the growth of the automotive aftermarket. Listed below are three ways that SBN members can get involved and recognized.
Enter to Be Featured as a #SheIsSEMA Member
The SBN is currently accepting applications for women to be featured in the #SheIsSEMA spotlight campaign to help raise awareness of career possibilities and spotlight successful women in the specialty equipment aftermarket. The #SheIsSEMA spotlight will feature how these women landed their careers and how they continue to thrive in a male-dominated industry.
Do you know (or are you) a woman with a career in the automotive industry? Submit your She is SEMA application for a chance to be featured on SBN’s social media, SEMA eNews and be recognized on the She is SEMA website.
