Beyond the Statistics: Veronica Dunford on Mentorship, the Austin Takeover, and the Future of WIA

from I'm A Car Chick · host Shasta Haddock

It’s been two years in the making, but Veronica Dunford, co-owner of Women in Automotive (WIA), is back on the show! Recorded live at NADA 2026, Veronica and Shasta Haddock discuss the massive momentum behind the upcoming 2026 annual conference in Austin, Texas. They dive deep into the real mission of WIA: it’s not about "man bashing," but about changing the statistics of why women leave the industry and fostering true sponsorship—the kind where people advocate for your career when you aren't in the room. From high-glam galas to the legendary pajama party, discover why this year’s "Igniting the Future" theme is set to be the biggest movement in WIA history.  #ImACarChick #WomenInAutomotive #WIA2026 #VeronicaDunford #AutomotiveMentorship #AustinEvents #NADA2026 #WomenInLeadership
