"I think people would agree that volunteering with SEMA can offer you an opportunity to meet new people, grow your network and form some solid relationships that can have a lasting impact on your career. But I also believe volunteering offers us a chance to hone our skills, learn something from the other side of the coin we've been chasing and gain a new perspective on our industry."
Ellen McKoy, EMK Marketing
Former PRO Select Committee Member
"Volunteers are the backbone of SEMA councils and networks, and serving on a select committee is a very rewarding experience. It offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with likeminded colleagues on issues that influence your specific industry segment, and play a key role in helping your council/network achieve its goals. It's also an opportunity to learn from others, share ideas, form lasting friendships, and have a positive impact on your market niche."
BJ Leanse, Go Rhino/Big Country
Former PRO Select Committee Member
"SEMA is a direct reflection of our Industry and very much like a diamond; the deeper you look, the more facets you see. The resources, benefits and opportunities SEMA provides really begin when you get in gear and engage and when you do, buckle up and enjoy the ride."
