October 24, 2018—The Women’s Industry Network (WIN) announced today that nominations for the Most Influential Women (MIW) awards will open on Thursday, Nov. 1, 2018 and will be accepted through Monday, Jan. 14, 2019.

The winners will be recognized at a gala during the 2019 WIN Educational Conference, being held May 6-8, 2019 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Nominations of women working in any segment of the collision repair industry across the U.S. and Canada are welcome.

The MIW program started in 1999 and since then has recognized over 90 women from the collision repair industry. WIN acquired stewardship of the program in 2013 and continues to evolve it.

The award focuses on four areas: industry influence, professional accomplishments, mentoring and support for others, and going beyond the requirements of their professional lives to give back to their communities.
