CARY, N.C. -

Help us honor the top women leaders in the industry! Now in its fifth year, Auto Remarketing is continuing this tradition of recognizing excellence by now opening the nominations for its 2013 Women in Remarketing Class.

Auto Remarketing’s April 15 edition will be dedicated to honoring women’s contributions to the used-car, remarketing, auction and auto finance industry. No matter what area of the business the female nominee comes from, she must have a history of going above and beyond the call of duty, whether through innovation, mentoring new professionals, philanthropy, education or more.

To nominate an executive, please email Staff Writer Sarah Rubenoff, at  srubenoff@autoremarketing.com, with the woman’s full name, position and contact information.

Please also include a brief summary as to why you think this female should be selected. What makes her stand out? Please note that your summary may be quoted.

We will include a brief blurb on each honoree, along with her photo, in our April 15 edition.

The 2013 Women in Remarketing Class will also be honored at this year’s Used Car Week Conferences in November.

Special advertising will also be available for this Women in Remarketing issue. For more information or to purchase space, please contact publisher Bill Zadeits at bzadeits@autoremarketing.com.

The deadline for nominations is Friday, March 8.
