"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.
