As an award recipient, Povod is eligible to participate in WIN’s monthly mentoring program. Through group calls, students share best practices with peers and industry professionals.

“These networking groups will support new female entrants to the collision repair field and hopefully create lifetime friendships that further WIN goals for longer-term career advancement and retention,” said Laura Kottschade, the 2024 chair of the WIN Student Relations Committee.
