Women’s Industry Network Opens 2023 Scholarship Applications

Obtaining a collision repair education can be costly, but as part of its commitment to supporting women pursuing a career in this industry, the Women’s Industry Network (WIN) will be awarding up to 20 scholarships to provide tuition assistance, educational opportunities and enrichment activities to qualified applicants.

To ensure that these awards remain relevant and beneficial to recipients, WIN has revitalized their scholarship program for the coming year and will be offering awards in two separate categories. Stars will receive a $500 scholarship, while Champions receive a $2,500 scholarship and access to monthly student engagement activities.

All scholarship recipients will be given a free virtual pass to the 2023 WIN Educational Conference, plus they’ll be granted membership to WIN’s exclusive student Facebook group. Additionally, each young lady will be given the opportunity to be mentored by a WIN member.

Applications for the 2023 program will be accepted from September 12 through October 28, 2022 with winners announced in January 2023. Access the application or obtain more information at bit.ly.com/WINsch23.

pausing occasionally for Chairman Donovan to express his displeasure at “the unusual volume of cases” submitted by a single repairer…though his incessant fidgeting and scowls said plenty, even without his mouth moving.

Ultimately, the Board voted to move forward on just 11 of the 36 complaints, which will be reviewed at a future date. Over and over, Johnson and Starbard voted to proceed; Smith voted to dismiss every single complaint. The 11 complaints moving forward will proceed due to favorable votes from Board member Samantha Tracy (Arbella Insurance). On the several complaints from which Tracy abstained from casting a vote, Chairman Donovan voted in line with Smith, creating a tie vote and causing the motion to proceed with the complaint to fail under Robert’s Rules of Order.

Quite a few verbal blows were struck before the ADALB adjourned with plans to reconvene on September 13. Don’t miss the detailed coverage of this meeting, only available in the August issue of the Damage Report members only newsletter.

AASP/MA members are strongly encouraged to listen to the recording of the July 19 meeting in the Members Only section of aaspma.org for a glimpse into the inner workings of the ADALB. The original proposed revisions can be found on the May meeting agenda, available at bit.ly/ADALB0722.
