Girls heard from these incredible women about everything from their personal journeys into the industry to words of advice going forward. Collision Hub offers this program as a way to connect with the leadership pipeline that is the Girl Scouts and to possibly light the spark that will one day usher them into the industry as our future CEOs, Marketers, Painters, Lobbyists, Technicians, Mechanics, Shop Owners, Engineers, Chemists, Industry Analysts and more.
“In addition to their time on the NACE floor visiting selected company booths, we were able to introduce these dynamic young women to the work of the Women's Industry Network and the National Autobody Council's Recycled Rides Program,” said Kristen Felder, Collision Hub Founder and CEO. “We believe that October 8, 2011 was yet another step towards a wonderful career exploration and mentoring program between the Girl Scouts of America and the collision repair industry at large.”
Tools for Success was Presented By Enterprise Rent-A-Car with the Women’s Panel Discussion and lunch Provided By LKQ. Other event sponsors included: Chief Automotive Technologies, 3M, PPG, VeriFacts Automotive, AutoBody America, AkzoNobel, Fix Auto, DuPont, CARSTAR, Mitchell, Esurance, Pro-Spray Automotive Refinishes, Automotive Service Excellence and CCC Information Services.
The Girl Scouts is reforming its mission to incorporate an emphasis on engineering, science, and technology and are seeking avenues to achieve this goal. As the collision repair industry continues to seek ways to recruit new talent and creative methods for connecting with costumers, Collision Hub hopes to offer access to a truly untapped demographic.
Tools for Success offered a unique opportunity for leaders in our industry to speak with a premiere group of goal-oriented and intelligent young women and capture their potential as future leaders and consumers as well as the support of each scout’s extensive personal network as potential customers and champions of the collision industry.
