The guest speaker at the August 4 general meeting was Gill Campbell, who currently works for a marketing company but previously was the manager at Laguna Seca raceway.
Her topic was “Women in Motorsports.” She told us about an organization called Women in Motorsports North America, co-founded by Lyn St. James. This group has the goal of supporting women in all aspects of motorsports. Gill told us how when she got started there was only one other woman promoting motorsports. With the help of WIMNA there can be opportunities for any woman who wants to be involved.
Gill showed a short video of a WIMNA Women With Drive conference that was held in Indianapolis in 2024 with over 600 men and women attending, providing opportunities for networking, keynote panels by drivers, engineers, team principals, OEMs and media leaders and mentorship and career-building opportunities.
A very interesting presentation and we thank Gill for coming.
