Tire Review columnist and partner Jody DeVere, founder and CEO of AskPatty.com Inc., was honored last week as the recipient of the 2011 SEMA Businesswomen’s Network’s Athena Award.
The award was presented at the 2011 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, and is given annually to honor an industry person or company for outstanding contributions to women in the automotive aftermarket.
“This award is for all women in the automotive aftermarket who I support and encourage to become leaders in our industry,” DeVere said during her acceptance speech.
She was also a speaker for a TIA seminar at its Global Tire Expo. Her “What Women Want” seminar drew a solid crowd, and she also made several appearances at the AAPEX show, particularly at the booth of the breast cancer research supporting wiper blade brand AutoTexPink.
