In addition to having over 10 years of on-camera and hosting experience, Santana also runs her own blog and co-runs a Cuban café. She is an influencer, a leader and entrepreneur. She also has a passion for providing relevant content for multicultural audiences.
The Diversity Volume Leadership Awards will precede the North American International Auto Show on Sunday, January 10, 2016. The invitation-only awards program, reception and dinner will take place from 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. in Room 410-A at Cobo Center in Detroit.
One of the premier industry events, the DVL Awards will annually celebrate segment leaders. It is the only event of its kind focused on multicultural automotive buyers.
Of the top industry honors presented to automotive manufacturers, nominees for the DVL Awards have demonstrated the highest new vehicle registrations with ethnic, women and millennial consumers. New vehicle registration data from IHS Automotive has been used to determine the nominees based on 2015 model year actual U.S. personal new vehicle registration volumes (October 2014 through September 2015). This year's awards are based on an analysis of more than 13 million personal new vehicle registrations.
