Nov. 10, 2011 - Universal Technical Institute CEO Honored as One of Northwood University’s Distinguished Women

On Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Ritz Carlton Dallas, Universal Technical Institute, Inc. (NYSE: UTI) CEO Kimberly McWaters was honored as one of Northwood University’s Distinguished Women Award recipients. The Distinguished Women’s program provides a platform for the next generation of women business leaders attending Northwood University through mentorship, leadership and scholarships.  The Distinguished Women are examples of leaders with determination, compassion, and ethical excellence for female Northwood students who aspire to be tomorrow’s entrepreneurs, executives and philanthropists.

Starting as a part-time receptionist, she has been with UTI for 27 years and served in numerous leadership roles including VP Sales and Marketing and President between 2000-2010. Her leadership in the automotive industry extends beyond UTI, as she also serves on the board of the Penske Automotive Group, an international automotive retailer and member of the Fortune 500 and Russell 1000.

 

An advocate for community service, McWaters chairs the Board of the Directors of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix and sits on the executive committee of the Fresh Start Women’s Foundation. In addition, she is the founder of the UTI Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, with a mission to enable individuals to complete technical training leading to career success.

 

“Distinguished Women this year, as well as all honorees during the past 42 years, are passionate about their impactful roles in our communities and ensuring students are given the best possible opportunity to advance their higher education and career goals,” said Mary Frazier, director of advancement at Northwood’s Texas Campus.

 

In 1970 the Northwood University Board of Trustees, under the inspiration of its founders Dr. Arthur E. Turner and Dr. R. Gary Stauffer, established the Distinguished Women's Award to recognize the enormous contribution women make to communities, businesses, volunteer agencies, and public and private sector services world-wide.
