AdvertisementIn this month’s episode, AMN Multimedia Senior Editor Nadine Battah sits down with Stacey Miller, vice president of communications at Auto Care Association. Believe it or not, Miller grew up wanting to be part of the automotive aftermarket, coming from a family of car lovers, and watching her dad fix the family car as a young girl. Miller’s career began in TV journalism and later in PR for a software company. It was her lifelong interest in cars combined with her early professional background that made her a perfect fit for the communications department at the Auto Care Association, she says.Advertisement “I saw an opportunity at the Auto Care Association, and I jumped out of my skin because I couldn’t believe that I could find a career in my area (I’m based outside of D.C.) and when I realized it was for the aftermarket and based on maintenance and repair I thought there’s no way – this is absolutely perfect. So, five and half years ago, I came to the Auto Care Association, and I told them, there’s no one else that’s going to want this job as much as I want it. I told that to the CEO and the rest is history,” Miller said.AdvertisementIn the episode, Nadine and Stacey also explore the following topics: 2:40 – The skills that earned Miller her recent promotion to a VP role;3:58 – Miller’s passion for the issue of Right to Repair;6:03 – The impact that the Young Auto Care Networking Group (YANG) and networking has made on her career;8:31 – How Miller achieves work-life balance;10:53 – What characteristics all successful leaders should possess; Tire Review sister brands AMN and Counterman, all a part of Babcox Media, introduced the third-annual class of Women at the Wheel honorees in May 2022.
