The Women's Industry Network (WIN) has opened nominations for the prestigious 2022 Most Influential Women (MIW) awards. Nominations will be accepted through Friday, Jan. 14, 2022. The recipients will be recognized at the WIN Celebration during the 2022 WIN Educational Conference, set for spring 2022. Nominations of women working in any segment of the collision repair industry across the United States and Canada are welcome.
"It is with excitement that WIN enters a new year of plans to honor the Most Influential Women in the collision industry. These are women who go above and beyond their job roles to influence their industry and communities," said Kathy Mello, WIN MIW committee member. "We have streamlined the process of nominations to be done directly from the WIN website. If you are a fan of a woman who excels in the areas mentioned, please share her with our dedicated team for the possibility of this esteemed recognition."
Since its inception in 1999, the Most Influential Women program has recognized more than 110 women who have enriched the collision repair industry with their leadership, vision, and commitment to excellence.
