Get Connected in Minutes at the SEMA Speed Networking Breakfast

	The most exciting networking event at the SEMA Show occurs at the SEMA Speed Networking Breakfast—Powered by the SBN.

The event is the SBN’s opportunity to announce the winner of the Athena and Woman of the Year awards. This year, the SBN will also present a new annual award to honor an outstanding SEMA mentor. The Mentor of the Year award was created to acknowledge an individual for his or her wisdom, encouragement and willingness to “help others along” as a foundation for growth.

Immediately following a delicious breakfast and the awards presentations, attendees will have a chance to engage in what many consider to be the most fun networking event at the Show. Speed Networking (much like speed dating) gives attendees a chance to quickly get to know other people in brief exchanges. Bring lots of business cards. Goodie bags will also be furnished at the breakfast, courtesy of this year’s sponsors.

Here you can get more information about the breakfast or purchase tickets. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased in advance or at the SEMA Association Center, which will be located in the Grand Lobby of the Las Vegas Convention Center during the Show. We encourage you to get your tickets early. Seating for this popular event is limited.

	The 2008 Athena Award was presented by former SBN Chairwoman S. Kellie Colf (second from right), 2009 Chairwoman Tammy Holland (second from left) and member of the SEMA Board of Directors Luanne Brown (far left) to Ron Coleman (center) and Paul “Scooter” Brothers (far right), both of Competition Cams.

Sponsorship—Another Way to Support Women in the Aftermarket

The SBN has been a valuable resource for many years, providing education and networking resources that have helped further careers in manufacturing, distribution, sales, marketing and all areas of business. We ask that you support this year’s Speed Networking Breakfast with a sponsorship. There are four levels offered—$250, $500, $1,000 and $2,000—each providing opportunities for recognition and exposure. A portion of your sponsorship also benefits the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund.

For more information, contact the SBN sponsorship committee chair, Nancy Loetfering, by calling 905/353-0552. A breakfast sponsorship form can be downloaded on the SBN website.

This year’s SBN scholarship recipient is Renisha Newton of Saginaw, Michigan. Her stated goal is to work as a product design engineer, with the expectation that she will someday be able to design a product that enhances the lives of others.

The SBN feels confident that Newton will achieve her career goals, and we are happy to support her with a scholarship of $2,000. Newton has an impressive 3.9 GPA at Kettering University, where she is enrolled in the post-graduate

Get Connected in Minutes at the SEMA Speed Networking Breakfast

	The most exciting networking event at the SEMA Show occurs at the SEMA Speed Networking Breakfast—Powered by the SBN.

The event is the SBN’s opportunity to announce the winner of the Athena and Woman of the Year awards. This year, the SBN will also present a new annual award to honor an outstanding SEMA mentor. The Mentor of the Year award was created to acknowledge an individual for his or her wisdom, encouragement and willingness to “help others along” as a foundation for growth.

Immediately following a delicious breakfast and the awards presentations, attendees will have a chance to engage in what many consider to be the most fun networking event at the Show. Speed Networking (much like speed dating) gives attendees a chance to quickly get to know other people in brief exchanges. Bring lots of business cards. Goodie bags will also be furnished at the breakfast, courtesy of this year’s sponsors.

Here you can get more information about the breakfast or purchase tickets. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased in advance or at the SEMA Association Center, which will be located in the Grand Lobby of the Las Vegas Convention Center during the Show. We encourage you to get your tickets early. Seating for this popular event is limited.

	The 2008 Athena Award was presented by former SBN Chairwoman S. Kellie Colf (second from right), 2009 Chairwoman Tammy Holland (second from left) and member of the SEMA Board of Directors Luanne Brown (far left) to Ron Coleman (center) and Paul “Scooter” Brothers (far right), both of Competition Cams.

Sponsorship—Another Way to Support Women in the Aftermarket

The SBN has been a valuable resource for many years, providing education and networking resources that have helped further careers in manufacturing, distribution, sales, marketing and all areas of business. We ask that you support this year’s Speed Networking Breakfast with a sponsorship. There are four levels offered—$250, $500, $1,000 and $2,000—each providing opportunities for recognition and exposure. A portion of your sponsorship also benefits the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund.

For more information, contact the SBN sponsorship committee chair, Nancy Loetfering, by calling 905/353-0552. A breakfast sponsorship form can be downloaded on the SBN website.

Program That Helps Launch Careers to Begin Again in December 2009

The buildup and auction of a project vehicle has been one of the major fundraising efforts for the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund. This year, the buildup of a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is being overseen by former SEMA Chairman Nate Shelton of B&M. Look for the Camaro and your chance to make a bid at the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Proceeds from the auction will go directly to the scholarship fund. In 2008, there were 225 applications for SEMA scholarships of $1,000–$4,000, and 93 were awarded, in addition to seven loan-forgiveness awards for a total of $133,000.

In 2008, there were 225 applications for SEMA scholarships of $1,000–$4,000, and 93 were awarded, in addition to seven loan-forgiveness awards for a total of $133,000. In 2009, the first year of the online application and judging process, 4,300 students gave SEMA their contact information, resulting in 551 official applications from which 60 scholarships and 14 loan-forgiveness awards were given for a total of $119,000.

This year, the association instituted a SEMA scholarship page on the Facebook social networking site, and it already has more than 500 contacts. Since its inception in 1984, the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund has helped more than 400 students, culminating in more than $1,200,000 in grants. The mission of the scholarship program is to foster industry leadership by supporting the education of students pursuing careers in the automotive aftermarket.

The 2010 program will kick off in early December of 2009 and will run until April 1, 2010. While the Silent Auction at the SEMA Show has been discontinued, the buildup and auction of a scholarship project car continues to be a feature of the program. This year’s vehicle will be a one-of-a-kind 2010 Hurst Camaro that is being overseen by former SEMA Chairman of the Board Nate Shelton from B&M. When completed, the Camaro will be auctioned off at the SEMA Show in November. Proceeds from the auction will go directly to the scholarship fund.
