Valued at more than $6,000, the annual scholarship gives two individuals – an Import Vehicle Community member and a YANG member – the opportunity to participate in one of the most highly regarded leadership development programs available to the auto care industry’s next generation of leaders.
The YANG Regional Meet-Up events serve as an opportunity for young professional leaders in the auto care industry to connect and socialize with their industry peers on a localized level.

This year’s conference features a new educational session titled “Five for Five,” which will include multiple five-minute presentations that share ideas in a concise, engaging way from speakers across the industry. Following the five-minute presentations will be a small-group roundtable session led by each presenter to discuss the bite-sized takeaways from their topics.
The Regional Meet-Up program was launched in 2015 to provide opportunities for young auto care industry professionals who may not travel to major industry events to become more involved, receive education and network at a more local level.
