The WAF Advocate of the Year award recognizes the efforts made by a manager at increasing the representation of women in the parking industry and within leadership roles at SP+. Dia Dopp is someone who demonstrates and promotes the spirit of WAF by fostering growth, leadership, and success for women by cultivating an environment of inclusion and opportunity.
