Women in the automotive industry face unique challenges. The SEMA Businesswomen's Network (SBN) is offering a comprehensive leadership training called the "Women's Leadership Forum," which is designed specifically to help women in the automotive aftermarket industry advance in their careers.

By bringing women together for focused leadership training, the event educates, inspires and supports women to thrive in the workplace.

Learning tracks enable participants to focus on the aspects that they are most interested in, whether it is personal development or general leadership. The program also provides an intimate setting for networking, games and building new friendships. Creating a place for SBN members to come together and give each other support, advice and opportunity is an invaluable experience.

1. Designed for women in the automotive aftermarket
   Women often struggle in the working world, from being able to say "no" to being respected for one's thoughts and ideas. The challenge is amplified in the male-dominated automotive industry. The comprehensive leadership training brings women who share common struggles in the industry together to address and discuss common challenges.
2. Breakout sessions + inspiring speakers and informative sessions
   The three-day program includes key note sessions, break out sessions and key assets to provide learning post event from top speakers and experts. Participants can choose breakout sessions that are most important to them. The sessions will focus on providing assistance for both professional leadership and personal development.
3. Reduced cost for SBN members
   SBN members will receive a reduced rate of $599, compared to the non-SEMA member rate of $799.
4. Grow your tribe of women allies
   This event is a safe environment for females to come together to express challenges and wins. The varied activities and connections will make attendees feel comfortable and relaxed and help SBN members find 'their people'. Participants will leave with contacts and connections that can serve as support in the future.
5. Amplify your executive presence
   Many women don't feel comfortable sharing their professional wins or know how to do it in the right way to advance an idea, project or cause. Participants will learn how to fine-tune their presence, build relationships and communicate value that impacts women at all levels in organizations.
