I-CAR HOSTS INDUSTRY TRAINING ALLIANCE MEETING

ROLLING MEADOWS, IL - December 7, 2001 - On October 30, 2001, I-CAR hosted an all-day meeting at its corporate headquarters for members of the Industry Training Alliance to discuss the value of training. Formed by I-CAR in 2000, the Alliance brings together technical training providers to optimize the training efforts of the collision industry.

Nearly all Industry Training Alliance members were represented at the meeting. Attendees included Lee Petersen, Steve Scherer, and Bill Mitchusson of Chief Automotive Systems; Joe Skurka and Jay Johnson of BASF Corporation;

Bill McIlhargey of Akzo Nobel Coatings, Inc., Car Refinishes; Ron Kuehn of Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes/Martin Senour Paints; and Bill Hickey of DuPont Automotive Finishes/Spies Hecker Inc.

"The meeting was a complete success," stated Tom Mack, I-CAR executive vice president and chief executive officer. "It is very encouraging to bring together all of these quality training providers and discuss cooperatively how to best communicate the value of training to our industry." Alliance members plan to continue to meet on a regular basis to discuss the future direction of the program and share ideas on how to coordinate their training efforts.

All I-CAR training resources are now available to vocational-technical schools and industry training organizations participating in the Alliance. I-CAR also maintains a database that includes student records for all Alliance training programs. In addition to the companies represented, Alliance members include PPG Industries and the recently added Car-O-Liner Company. A complete listing of Alliance training programs is available online at www.i-car.com.

I-CAR, founded in 1979, is an international, not-for-profit, training organization dedicated to improving the quality, safety and efficiency of auto collision repair for the ultimate benefit of the consumer.
