🌟 Proud to shine a spotlight on our very own Beckie Johnson as this GROW Member Spotlight!

GROW (Global Remarketing Opportunities for Women) is where women in automotive remarketing come to connect, learn, lead, and be seen. We're proud sponsors of their mission — building a supportive community that recognizes women's contributions, opens doors that were once harder to reach, and helps more women grow into leadership across auctions, consignors, lenders, tech, logistics, and the rest of the remarketing ecosystem.

Beckie, congratulations on being recognized. Your work and presence in this industry are exactly what GROW exists to celebrate. 👏
