Join Us for Our Quarterly Professional Development Lunch and Learn Webinar
December 3, 2019
Greetings,
Over 10 years ago, when I founded Southern Automotive Women’s Forum with a group of like minded and determined women, the “pull” was strong. What started as a 5-minute introduction of my background at an SAC event became a “rallying cry” for a safe place to conduct professional development for women who were working in the Southeast but felt isolated and were unaware that other women were working in automotive nearby.
In addition, there was a strong pull for women who wanted to be role models and supporters the next generation of girls in STEM. The women already in automotive wanted to bring in the younger generation into the automotive space and share the benefits they had gained in their lives by working in this industry. Women who had worked in t-shirt factories, pencil factories or stripped tobacco prior to working in automotive wanted to share their life-changing experiences with the next generation, whether it was an OEM, supplier or ancillary support organization.
Here we are 10 years later and, although progress has been made, the need to bring women into automotive in the Southeast as well as the need to “be what you can see” as role models for the next generation is more important than ever. As more women enter the automotive ecosystem, the need to assure that they STAY in the industry and move up in leadership roles is crucial . A recent USA Today article demonstrated with data, that although progress has been made, women in leadership roles in automotive are well below the average of other like industries.
As a member of SAWF, you agree with our mission and vision. As the founder of SAWF, I am asking you to donate to SAWF on this Giving Tuesday.

As I end this letter I always look to one of my favorite quotes: “Never underestimate that a small group of people can change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has” Margaret Meade
Be the change you want to see. Donate today!
I appreciate your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Susan Brennan

"When you work in manufacturing, you may not always get that viewpoint of you're doing something bigger than building a vehicle," said Lance Fulks, General Manager for Assembly at Mazda Toyota Manufacturing USA, Inc.. "But being from the Huntsville area and to have the opportunity to impact 4,000 people positively, that's really motivating to me. It's a lot of fun and it's an exciting project." Read the complete story here on how Mazda Toyota is making an impact in Alabama.
