 The SBN is currently recruiting volunteers for various Show events and network reception. |
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 receive recognition now.
Be Featured as a #SheIsSEMA Member
The SBN is currently accepting applications for women to be featured in the #SheIsSEMA spotlight campaign, which raises awareness of career possibilities and spotlights successful women in the specialty-equipment industry. The #SheIsSEMA spotlight will feature how these women landed their careers and how they continue to thrive in a male-dominated industry. This program also provides recognition for member companies that promote within the industry.
Do you know, or are you, a woman with a career in the automotive industry? Submit your #SheIsSEMA application for a chance to be featured on SBN’s social media, SEMA eNews and be recognized on the #SheIsSEMA website.
