"This year, I-CAR wanted to hold this special event for I-CAR instructors to provide them with a networking and learning opportunity that goes beyond what we can accomplish on a regional level," said Rick Tuuri, I-CAR Director of Business Development and North American Operations. "While we will not be conducting regional conferences and the Canada national meeting this year, as have they have been held in the past, we will continue with them next fall or winter. Similar to what we are doing with the 2005 I-CAR Instructor Event, our goal will be to provide a new and unique approach to the regional conferences and the Canada national meeting next year to support, recognize, and show our appreciation to the I-CAR volunteers and committee members for all that they do for the collision industry."

"This event will strengthen the I-CAR instructor network by introducing them to the technical development staff, learning more about the program development process, participating in program development seminars, and attending technical or presentation seminars. Instructors from across North America will also have an opportunity to network with each other," said I-CAR Instructor Support Manager Todd Hank. "I-CAR has become the collision industry training leader due to the efforts of the instructors, committee members, and volunteers. Events such as this and future regional conferences are conducted specifically to assist and recognize their continued efforts."

Additional information regarding the Instructor Event 2005 will be posted online at www.i-car.com when available and sent via e-mail to current I-CAR instructors.
