SEMA Businesswomen’s Network Celebrates 30 Years of Advancing Women in the Automotive Aftermarket
SBN campaign highlights womens advancements, accomplishments, and members
DIAMOND BAR, Calif. – WEBWIRE – Tuesday, March 14, 2023
The SEMA Businesswomens Network (SBN), a subset network of the Specialty Equipment Market Association that supports and raises awareness of women in the automotive industry, is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2023.
The network, which encourages and supports women pursuing careers in the automotive field, represents over 700 female and male members spanning across various occupations and markets in the aftermarket industry.
Since 1993, the SBN has developed and managed industry-focused programs for women, including networking and recognition opportunities. Most recently, it completed its second all-female vehicle build, hosted its second annual Womens Leadership Forum, and continues to spotlight the stories and careers of women in the automotive industry though its #SheIsSEMA campaign.
SBNs history is one of ambition and progress, and we couldnt be more excited for the community that we have created, said SBN Director Nicole Bradle. Its a network where all women are recognized and supported for their contributions to this thriving industry.
To celebrate the milestone, the SBN launched a campaign to highlight the stories and members of the network throughout SEMA and SBN communication channels. The campaign will run throughout 2023 and culminate at the SBN 30th Anniversary Reception and Party at the SEMA Show in November.
There is no better time than now to reflect on what the SBN has achieved, added Bradle. Looking to the future, we aspire to further foster growth, support, and community for women.

The forum will include panel-answered “Ask-The-Experts” questions, peer-to-peer discussion, unlimited access to standard operating procedures, webinars, continuing education, training videos and materials. The new peer network, Pharmacy Stars Sterile Compounding Quality Peer Network, will accompany the monthly newsletter already in publication, Sterile Compounding Quality Matters, which subscribers can subscribe to free of charge at https://pharmacystars.com/qualitymatters. Pharmacy Stars is underwriting all development and ongoing operational costs of the new peer network, as the provision of such a peer network aligns 100% with its mission to support the healing power of pharmacy.
