AE to Honor Women in the Industry
TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. — The publishers of Agent Entrepreneur are accepting nominations for “Women in the Industry,” a cover story that will honor hardworking and successful women in the dealership, agency and F&I product provider and administrator segments.
“In what many still regard as a male-dominated industry, countless strong, smart, industrious women have reached the heights of success,” said Kate Spatafora, associate publisher of AE and P&A. “If you or someone you know fits that description, I encourage you to nominate them today.”
The deadline for nominations is August 28. Nominations should include:
The nominee and nominator’s name, title, company and contact information
100 to 200 words explaining why the nominee is deserving of recognition, including any professional accomplishments, recent promotions, honors and awards
The magazine’s publishers and editorial board will carefully consider every nomination and select 20 honorees for inclusion in the story, which is scheduled to run in the September/October 2016 edition of AE.
