Entering its second year, SEMA’s Young Executives Network (YEN) Fellowship program has expanded for 2012 to award 10 of the industry’s finest emerging talent. 

Growing up, Brandy Morrow, 28, didn’t envision herself behind the wheel of a race car or working on cars in the hot summer sun. Her father Mike, who was a professional motorcycle racer and transitioned into performance sales and marketing, never forced the car hobby on Morrow. In fact, while pursuing martial arts and other mainstream pursuits, she didn’t even get her driver’s license until she was 17.

This month's Young Executives Network (YEN) Member Spotlight features Ernie Manansala, CEO of Tribe Agency. At 30 years of age, Manansala has 10 years of industry experience. We recently spent some time with Manansala, discussing a variety of topics that we thought would be of interest to fellow SEMA YEN members.

SEMA's Young Executives Network (YEN) is rapidly approaching the 1,000 membership mark—we need your help to get us there. Increase your networking circle and be entered to win an iPad3 by encouraging your friends and colleagues who are under 40 and work for a SEMA-member company to join YEN.
