Oct. 13, 2015—The Women’s Industry Network (WIN) 2016 Sponsorship Campaign kicked off on Monday and will run through Jan. 10.
“As an all-volunteer nonprofit network, our ability to develop programs to support our members, and ultimately our industry, depends upon the support and generosity of our sponsors across diverse industry segments,” said Susanna Gotsch, chair of the sponsorship committee. “We are grateful for the confidence the industry has shown and look forward to cultivating new sponsor relationships this year.”
During 2015, WIN saw an increase in membership numbers, industry sponsorship, communications, attendance at the WIN Education Conference, scholarship support, visibility at industry events, and the recognition of the Most Influential Women in the Collision Repair Industry program.
In 2015, WIN expanded its scholarship program and awarded five College Student Tuition and three High School Tuition Scholarships to eight women who made the choice to study in the collision repair industry. During its annual Educational Conference, WIN also honored four outstanding female professionals with the “Most Influential Women” (MIW) award. The MIW program recognizes women who have enriched the industry with their leadership, vision, and commitment to excellence. Each scholarship winner was then paired with an MIW honoree, creating mentoring relationships that support young women entering the industry.
WIN is currently seeking corporate sponsorships to allow the expansion of its programs of education, networking and membership. Those interested in sponsorship opportunities should email Gotsch.
