All nominations for this award must be completed and in the hands of the WIN MIW Committee by end of business on Dec. 31. Any woman working in any segment of the collision repair industry in the U.S. or Canada is eligible to be nominated. All nominees will be interviewed and evaluated by independent consultant Russell Long, president of Change Innovations, prior to award selection. WIN membership is not a requirement for nomination.

The Most Influential Women award recognizes women who have enriched the collision repair industry with their leadership, vision and commitment to excellence. If someone within your organization fits this description, submit a nomination form for consideration today. Nomination forms may be downloaded from the WIN website. Nominations should be returned to Margaret Knell ([email protected]) or Frederica Carter ([email protected]) by end of business on December 31, 2014, to be considered for the 2015 award.

The winners will be recognized at an MIW gala held during the 2015 WIN Educational Conference, May 4-6, 2015, at the Baltimore Waterfront Marriott, Baltimore, Md. In addition to the MIW awards gala, where honorees will be presented with a Tiffany’s crystal award and custom commemorative pin, recipients will have the opportunity to invest in the future of collision repair by mentoring a WIN scholarship winner as they continue their education toward a career in the industry.
