"The success and growth of women dealers are vital to our industry, and this breakfast is just one way that NADA is working to advance that goal."
Keynote speaker Anne E. Belec, president and CEO of Volvo Cars of North America, LCC, will share her business insights gained from leading one of the world's major auto manufacturers.
Marcy Maguire and Kathleen Sims, NADA directors-at-large representing women dealers, will host the event. Tickets are $49 and must be purchased by February 6. Invitations will be sent with a response card in the mail.
