March 10, 2016—The Women’s Industry Network (WIN) announced Thursday the 2016 honoree of the Most Influential Women (MIW) in the collision repair industry: Michelle Sullivan, regional vice president at FinishMaster Inc. in Indianapolis.
The award recognizes women who have enriched the collision repair industry with their leadership, vision and commitment to excellence.
“The 2016 MIW nominees highlighted the geographic, functional and sector diversity of women who are influencing the collision repair industry today,” said Sandra Herron, owner of MiddlEdge, Inc., whose consulting firm was contracted as a third-party entity to interview the nominees and select this year’s honoree based on specific criteria established by the Board of Directors. “I was inspired by each nominee’s industry involvement, professional accomplishments, mentoring of others and community service. Michelle’s record of creating value for companies, developing industry talent, and championing charitable causes in her community stood out as exemplary.”
“Each year, women from different facets of the collision repair industry are selected for their passion and commitment to progressive and positive evolution of the industry,” stated Denise Caspersen, WIN chair. “With so many opportunities for women to have rewarding careers—the sky is the limit for those with talent, inspiration and a strong work ethic.”
