Edmunds.com Town Hall Wins Women's Automotive Communications Award
    SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 1 Edmunds.com
(http://www.edmunds.com), the web's leading consumer resource for unbiased
automotive information, today was awarded the Women's Automotive
Communications Award for the "Our Turn" section of Edmunds' Town Hall.  The
Car Care Council's Women's Board presented this award to Edmunds.com in
recognition of the company's achievements promoting useful automotive
information to women via the Internet.
    The "Our Turn" conference provides a female perspective on automotive
products and issues, empowering women to make educated decisions and achieve a
comfort level with important but often unfamiliar subjects.  Topics ranging
from "Electrical Wiring" to "Comfortable Cars" can be found at this site
designed "for women only."
    "The 'Our Turn' conference is meant to be a safe, judgment-free area
within our Town Hall discussion community where we women are not afraid to ask
our questions, gather our research, and collect opinions from others who share
common experiences and situations," according to Town Hall's Message Boards
Manager, Bonnie Rick.
    The Women's Automotive Communications Award is presented annually to
companies who promote automotive information to women via outstanding
advertising and marketing techniques.  The award program also helps educate
those companies not yet targeting women as viable customers.  This year, the
awards are being distributed in Las Vegas in connection with the Specialty
Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) conference.
