Ten semifinalists in the Women Driving Auto Retail video contest have been selected and the winner will be announced at the NADA Show on Monday, Feb. 17.

Launched in August 2019, the third annual contest called on women working in the auto retail industry to share their career path, why they love the auto retail industry and encourage other women to pursue automotive careers in a three-minute video.

The video contest, part of NADA’s Women Driving Auto Retail initiative, aims to highlight the current voices of women working in dealerships and encourage other women to pursue automotive careers.
