โ€œYou may never feel completely ready. You deserve to be there. You need to be seen. You need to be heard.โ€

Enhild Herrera, Marlinda Phillips, and Selena Anderson arrived at the Women In Automotive Conference with different careers, different levels of experience, and the same quiet question:

Do I fit here?

Each woman found her own answer through the people who welcomed her, the lessons she carried home, and the confidence she discovered along the way.

But the most meaningful part of their stories may be what happened next. They did not simply receive community. They began thinking about how they could create it for other women.

Read their stories in โ€œThey Arrived as First-Time Attendees. They Left Ready to Lead.โ€: https://womeninautomotive.com/post/first-time-women-automotive-conference-attendees

After you read it, tell us in the comments: Who helped make room for you in your career? Tag her if you can, and let her know the difference she made.

๐Ÿ’œ It's , and today we're celebrating Sally Lopez, Founder and CEO of OWL Automotive Consulting!

After more than 38 years in automotive, Sally has built the kind of career that demonstrates just how many opportunities exist for women throughout this industry.

Her experience spans dealership operations, accounting, technology, business transformation, privately held dealer groups, and serving as Chief Information Officer of Penske Automotive Group.

Now, Sally has stepped into full ownership of the company she co-founded eight years ago, making OWL Automotive Consulting a woman-owned business serving hundreds of dealerships across the United States.

And throughout her career, Sally has made it a priority to invest in others as a mentor, advisor, and advocate for the next generation of automotive professionals.

Congratulations, Sally, on this exciting milestone! We can't wait to see where your leadership takes OWL next. ๐Ÿ’œ

When you think about careers in automotive, real estate may not be the first thing that comes to mind.

That is exactly why Jodi Meadeโ€™s story matters.

Jodi recognized that dealerships needed specialized real estate expertise and built an automotive practice around that opportunity. Over the past 23 years, she has led more than $1 billion in automotive real estate transactions.

But her story is about more than the number.

It is about recognizing a gap, developing the expertise to fill it, and becoming known for something valuable. It is also about the example set by Jodiโ€™s mother, a trailblazer who taught her that she could do anything.

Our latest Women In Automotive feature takes you beneath the surface of the industry to explore the careers and expertise that make sales and service possible.

Read โ€œThe Tip of the Icebergโ€ and meet the woman behind more than $1 billion in automotive real estate transactions: https://womeninautomotive.com/post/jodi-meade-automotive-real-estate

This , weโ€™re celebrating Beverly Boatright, the woman behind so much of the magic at the Women In Automotive Conference.

For months, Beverly worked through the countless details required to bring WIA 2026 to life: room blocks, catering, event-space plans, programming logistics, and all the moving pieces most attendees never see.

Beverly doesnโ€™t need to be the loudest person in the room. She is the one making sure the room, and everything happening inside it, works.

WIA 2026 was as remarkable as it was because Beverly was part of it. We are deeply grateful for her leadership, dedication, and determination to make every detail count.

Rest in peace, Dolly.
