Nominations are now open for SEMA's "Visionary 8" recognizing the future leaders of the automotive aftermarket industry. Nominations can be submitted until Friday, August 30, at this link.
SEMA has recognized the rising stars of the industry since 2012 through the "35 Under 35" program. "Visionary 8" will build upon that success by spotlighting eight recipients on track to become leaders in the industry. The recognition is one of the association's most coveted accolades, honoring the up-and-coming talent on track to drive innovation in the automotive aftermarket for future generations.
"'Visionary 8' will maintain the '35 Under 35' legacy while enhancing the quality of representation that is given to our industry's rising stars," said Jose Escobar, SEMA manager of recognition programs. "The list is now more competitive than ever, and the selection process will be even more rigorous."
Nominees must be SEMA members, should have active industry involvement, and demonstrate the talent, innovation, integrity, success and leadership that is needed to become a future driver of the industry. The age criteria remains 35 and under.
"Visionary 8" recipients will serve as subjects of in-depth feature articles in an upcoming issue of SEMA Magazine.
