Video Summary

The WIFM Mentorship Webinar, moderated by Tara Spencer, highlighted the value and impact of the Women in Fleet Management mentorship program, which has supported women in fleet for over a decade and formally launched in 2018. Tara introduced several mentor-mentee pairings, including industry leaders Lori Rasmussen and Diana Holland, Corey Warren and Judy Nusky, and Rachel Sunstein and Candice Morley.<br /><br />Panelists shared how mentorship builds confidence, expands networks, supports career decisions, and often turns into lasting friendships. Stories included guidance during career changes, safety collaboration that led to new AFLA initiatives, and how mentorship helped introverted professionals gain confidence in industry settings. Several speakers emphasized that mentorship is not one-way: mentors also learn and grow through the relationship.<br /><br />The panel also introduced new program features, including peer-to-peer mentorship and a digital resource guide. Audience questions covered how pairings are made, how to decide whether to join as a mentor or mentee, and why attending AFLA can benefit fleet professionals. The session concluded with a strong message: no matter your career stage, mentorship offers support, connection, and a meaningful way to strengthen the fleet industry.
