🌟 YANG Council Member Spotlight 🌟 This week, we’re thrilled to highlight Mike Skolnick, Regional Sales Manager at DRiV Incorporated. With over 15 years in the automotive aftermarket industry, Mike has built a diverse and accomplished career. Starting as a driver at a family-owned parts store, Tinker Auto Parts, on Long Island, Mike worked his way through the business and eventually moved on to SRS Marketing as a Sales Representative in the New York Metro market. His journey continued with MAHLE Aftermarket as a Senior Account Manager, and today, he leads as a Regional Sales Manager at DRiV Incorporated. Mike has been a proud YANG member since 2015, motivated by a passion for professional development and networking within the aftermarket community. His commitment to the AACF charity (Automotive Aftermarket Charitable Foundation) is a big reason why he serves on the YANG Council—helping to support this amazing cause while empowering the next generation of leaders in our industry. When he’s not driving results in the aftermarket, you can find Mike enjoying time on the golf course, out boating during the summer, or hitting the slopes for some winter skiing. He also loves to explore new restaurants and discover hidden gems around New York City with his wife and their 3-year-old daughter. 💡 Inspirational Quote: "Well done is better than well said" – Winston Churchill Join us in recognizing Mike’s dedication to both the industry and the YANG Council. We’re lucky to have him as part of our leadership! 👏 #YANG #AutoCare #Leadership #Aftermarket #Networking #ProfessionalDevelopment Young Auto Care Network Group

The Young Auto Care Network Group (YANG) has launched the 2025 YANG Mentorship Program. The goal of the mentorship initiative is for YANG mentees to experience networking, professional development and giving back. The program is free to participate for anyone under the age of 40 who joins the YANG community. Each YANG mentee ranks industry-specific topics by preference to form mentorship circles. Examples of topics include … • Navigating the aftermarket. • Moving up the ladder. • How to grow your career. • Entrepreneurism. • Aftermarket career journey. Each mentorship circle consists of roughly five mentees and one mentor focused on a unique circle topic. Groups will be assigned after the registration closes Nov. 30. Participants will then join the YANG Mentorship Program Kick-Off Meeting in January 2025. Each mentor circle will meet once per quarter in 2025. To learn more and sign up, visit autocare.org/yang or contact YANG Community Engagement Manager Mary ieng at mary.ieng@autocare.org #aftermarket #autocare #autoparts Auto Care Association
