 Diversity Works Minimize

The Women’s Industry Network (WIN), through its “Diversity Works” program, seeks to promote all businesses, educational institutions and associations in the collision industry committed to the advancement of women and minorities by spotlighting those entities.

If you are interested in being "spotlighted"  please send details about your action--whether in the form of community outreach, enlightened recruitment programs, the development of educational materials or other relevant projects that further the goal of creating a diverse collision industry--to Marcy Tieger at marcy.tieger@symphonyadvisorsllc.com.
 
WIN’s purpose in identifying these entities is to both acknowledge their good work, and to provide a forum where other interested parties can go for ideas and examples should they wish to institute similar programs or projects of their own.
