Chrysler has been the exclusive sponsor of the BEYA Awards Gala for nearly two decades. Minner is the latest in a long list of BEYA Award winners at Chrysler. Minner was appointed to lead Chrysler's Sterling Heights assembly plant -- where he directs the production of the all-new Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger vehicles -- in April 2010.
