WARRENDALE, Pa., April 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Continuing the organization's ongoing commitment to support equality across the entire mobility industry, SAE International today announced the release of its latest book title, "The Road Forward: More Conversations with Top Women in the Automotive Industry." A follow up to the 2019 SAE best-selling book "The Road to the Top is Not on the Map," the latest book features 70 of the most influential women in the automotive industry, who offer their insights and advice for colleagues, peers and the next generation of women entering the workforce. The book is now available for purchase at: https://www.sae.org/publications/books/content/r-513/.

"The Road Forward" is authored by Carla Bailo, CEO of the Center for Automotive Research (CAR), and Terry Barclay, CEO of Inforum, and contains insights from more than double the number of women who appeared in the first book. The book's 70 contributors—from suppliers to OEMs to higher education—candidly share their in-depth perspectives on the impact of the COVID pandemic by detailing their thoughts of the road ahead and what changes they have experienced professionally, personally and socially.

“The women in this book continue to be some of the best and most resilient leaders, and we find their openness and commitment to continually improved leadership humbling.” Carla Bailo and Terry Barclay, book authors

"The women in this book continue to be some of the best and most resilient leaders, and we find their openness and commitment to continually improved leadership humbling," said book authors Carla Bailo and Terry Barclay. "We truly want to make a difference for women in automotive and help create a way for all people—women and men—to be successful in our business."

Following the success of their first title, Bailo and Barclay were inspired by the feedback they heard from their peers across the automotive industry who were motivated by the experiences and wisdom shared by the women who contributed. Added Bailo and Barclay: "It's hard to overstate how gratified and pleased we were with what happened after publication of 'The Road to the Top.' The content was discussed in ERGs and executive suites, and book clubs met to discuss it."

"The Road Forward" continues on the themes explored in the first book, as the leaders profiled discuss resilience, professional network maintenance and growth, personal growth, diversity and inclusion, and sustainability. The book is relevant for women at all stages in their careers by providing real-world experiences to demonstrate how to take charge of one's career. The contributors offer poignant insights on such topics as career challenges, education and lifelong learning, mentor and sponsor relationships, personal satisfaction, resilience, and work-life integration.
