I-CAR ANNOUNCES 2009 INTERNATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
"I am very excited to welcome the four new members of I-CAR's International Advisory Committee,” said Bill Stage, of Akzo Nobel Coatings and Co-Chairman of the Committee. “The IAC is the direct voice of I-CAR volunteers to the Board of Directors. The addition of the newest members provides a good cross representation of the I-CAR zones and international licensees.” Stage continued, “I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Paul Thompson of State Farm, Theresa Kostick of All Line CARSTAR, and Rodney Hughes in Canada, whose terms on the committee have expired. Their many years of dedicated service to the International Advisory Committee have benefited the organization." Over the past year, the International Advisory Committee has worked with I-CAR’s local volunteers to focus the training organization’s effort to improve I-CAR class attendance and develop strategies to recruit the next generation of I-CAR volunteers and instructors. “The work of the International Advisory Committee members is extraordinarily valuable. The members provide I-CAR’s staff and Board of Directors with a connection to I-CAR’s volunteers. It supports the effective sharing of ideas and communication of information on a range of training issues important to the inter-industry,” said John Edelen, I-CAR President and CEO. “The work of the committee and the link that they provide to the volunteers is critical during these challenging times for the inter-industry.” Doug Middleton, Co-Chairman of the IAC, and a founding member of I-CAR, concurred, “I am proud of our team of volunteers on the International Advisory Committee. They have exceeded all expectations in the performance of the tasks requested of them by the Board of Directors. It reminds me of our industry’s eager participation during the formative days of the I-CAR organization.” The 2009 International Advisory Committee members include:

CAR-O-LINER WELDER AWARDED TO WISCONSIN CAREER AND TECHNICAL SCHOOL AT NACE 2008Jerome Goodson of Fox Valley Technical College located in Appleton, Wisconsin, has won a Car-O-Liner CR 55 Aluminum Stud Welder and Dent Repair Tools at NACE 2008 thanks to a giveaway sponsored by Car-O-Liner, I-CAR, ASE, I-CAR Education Foundation, and NATEF. For the fifth year in a row, these organizations have co-sponsored a drawing at NACE. “I am thrilled to be the winner of the Car-O-Liner aluminum spot welding equipment,” noted Jerome Goodson Collision Repair/Business and Industry Instructor at Fox Valley Technical College. The equipment will be donated to the Collision Repair and Refinishing Program at Fox Valley Technical College, where the students will be able to polish their skills in aluminum repair. I was fortunate to have graduated from Fox Valley Technical College in the late 1980’s, one of the first schools in the United States to use I-CAR curriculum.” “Early in my career, I learned the value of I-CAR Training and ASE Certification, and how each can compliment a technician’s skills and professional growth. Car-O-Liner, I CAR, the I CAR Education Foundation, ASE, and NATEF should all be applauded, as their generosity demonstrates different organizations working together to ensure that the collision industry continues to move in a positive direction.” To be eligible, an entrant must be I CAR trained as well as ASE-certified, or attend an ASE-certified NATEF career and technical school or college which also utilizes the I CAR Live curriculum. To participate in this promotion, eligible attendees could visit one of the participating organization’s booths and fill out a registration form. The winner was randomly selected at the conclusion of Saturday’s NACE exposition day and notified via phone.
