The Women’s Industry Network (WIN®) announces today that nominations for the prestigious 2020 Most Influential Women (MIW) awards will open on Friday, November 1, 2019 and will be accepted through Monday, January 13, 2020. The recipients will be recognized at the WIN Celebration during the 2020 WIN Educational Conference, being held May 3-5, 2020 in Newport Beach, Calif. Nominations of women working in any segment of the collision repair industry across the United States and Canada are welcomed.
Since its inception in 1999, the Most Influential Women program has recognized over 90 women who have enriched the collision repair industry with their leadership, vision, and commitment to excellence. The MIW program supports WIN’s mission of “driving the future of collision repair by attracting, developing, and advancing women.”
“Our business has strong women leaders who influence our industry and their communities. They motivate and inspire people by making a difference,” commented Marie Peevy, WIN MIW committee co-chair and 2018 MIW honoree.
