Episode Overview

Here on The Collision Vision, we discuss topics surrounding the “business” side of the collision repair industry. We also do our part in giving a voice to organizations dedicated to making the collision repair industry a better place. That’s what a lot of today’s conversation will be focused on, as we host a very special panel discussion with some key women in the collision industry, on behalf of WIN.

Many of you know WIN, but in their own words: The Women’s Industry Network’s mission is to support and enhance the role of women in the collision repair industry, promoting education, professional advancement and networking. The WIN Board of Directors exists to guide the organization in furthering these initiatives. The all-volunteer group represents various collision industry segments including, but not limited to, repair facilities, suppliers, consultants, information providers and insurance companies.
