№ 7 2024 What Drives Her Best Retailer Award Nominations Are Now Open The Chicago Auto Show organizers are proud to partner with A Girls Guide to Cars and Women in Automotive to produce the annual What Drives Her networking event and awards program during the show’s Media Preview. What Drives Her was started in 2017 as a way to bring together influential women in the automotive industry and amplify the female leadership and innovation contributions across manufacturing, retailers, media and beyond. Event organizers introduced the What Drives Her awards in 2022 to recognize and applaud outstanding females and advocates in the industry. Nominations are submitted from individuals within the industry ranging from auto manufacturers, suppliers, media and dealers. The panel of distinguished jurors are made up of female automotive journalists. At a local level, the Best Retailer award calls on CATA dealers to nominate an extraordinary female at Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana dealerships. This person demonstrates a high level of commitment and drive to any task at hand, whether that’s in sales, service, finance or technical support. Nominees must be employed by a Chicago-area dealership. 16 CATA UP TO SPEED
