SiriusXM's 'Auto Trends' Honors Women's History Month Highlighting Diversity And Equity Advocates
As we honor Women’s History Month, Auto Trends with JeffCars.com highlights Kathy Gilbert and Cheryl Thompson. Both have blazed phenomenal trails while being recognized as champions of diversity in the automotive industry.
According to a 2022 article by CNBC, women currently control approximately $10 trillion in U.S. financial assets. However, when analyzing the automotive industry, this group has been underrepresented historically.
The latest stats by Catalyst.org reveal that women only hold 26 percent of the jobs in the motor vehicle manufacturing field despite accounting for between 40 to 51 percent of registered new vehicle sales when based on ethnicity and traditional household data, according to S & P Global Mobility.

'Auto Trends' Talks To Minority Automotive Dealer Historian Damon Lester (Two Shows)
Since its founding in 1980, NAMAD has collaborated with policy makers and auto manufacturers to establish fair and sustainable business practices for minority
dealers in America.
Currently, ethnic dealers account for approximately
8 percent of total U.S. dealerships. When Lester became president of the dealer advocacy
organization in 2006, the total minority dealership count was just short of its
an all-time high at 1,756, according to NAMAD data stats. However,
when the subprime mortgage crisis crippled the economy a few years later, 54
percent of the ethnic dealerships were forced to close their doors, bottoming out
in 2010 with only 811 stores still standing.
