AskPatty's Jody DeVere to Speak At Ladies Who Launch LIVE!

AskPatty's very own President Jody DeVere will be part of the "Queens of the Web" panel at the "Ladies Who Launch LIVE" event in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 31.

About Jody:
We know that many women love cars, love the excitement of GETTING a new car, love the new car smell, and love driving that car off the lot. But what many women HATE is everything that has to be done to get to that point, which is where Jody becomes our hero. As the CEO, president, and co-founder of AskPatty.com, Jody helped AskPatty.com become a Web site geared toward helping women with everything automotive.

About the Day:
