To encourage women entering or re-entering the workforce to look at careers in the retail automotive industry, the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association (GNYADA) has planned an automotive career networking event, Chocolate, Cars and Careers. The free program, which includes a panel discussion by nine women who have excelled in the industry, will take place at the Center for Automotive Education & Training, at 15-30 Petracca Place, Whitestone, Queens, on Thursday, October, 26 from 5:30pm to 8:00pm.
