'“Back when I started, General Motors didn’t have a whole lot of dealers who looked like me.”

1071 It was a dillerenl time. It was a different General Motors. And it was tough being out there alone. Sometimes I wondered it they even heard me.. Well, it’s a new day and a new GM. They hear me now. And they respond. They respond with initiatives dedicated to increasing the number of GM minority dealers and making sure those dealers have state-of-the-art training and support. One example close to my heart is our new GM Dealer Scholarship Program. Its a lull four-year scholarship plus ^ summer internships | with dealers.like me. i The goal is to train young minority students to become general managers and dealers. A top-notch team of student finalists has just been identified to participate in the program. Before you know it, GM’s going to have a whole lot of dealers who look like me.”
