Current Events/News: I-CAR Press Releases I-CAR REFOCUSES ITSELF WITH VOLUNTEERS AND PROGRAM INSTRUCTORS HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL – February 18, 2008 – I-CAR volunteer committee members and program instructors from around the country were given an open forum to provide feedback during the recently completed 2008 I-CAR Zone Conferences. The feedback offered to attending I-CAR staff and board increases communication between the groups and also allows I-CAR to further reach out to those who receive training and provide a high-quality, relevant product, as volunteers and program instructors serve as the ‘frontline of I-CAR’ to the industry. “I appreciate the sincerity of everyone and the individual commitment to change course to ensure that a quality product is achieved. In today's environment change is constant and requires continuous renewal of how we interact and function within the business environment,” explained Dan Shymanski, St. Louis MO I-CAR Volunteer District chairperson. “To recognize and make those adjustments is never easy and requires strong leadership. This is a great organization and I am thankful for the leadership and their resolve to make those changes.” “I think I-CAR has been going through some growing pains,” admitted Tim Harriman, ME State I-CAR Volunteer chairperson. “What I-CAR can do for us right now is keep the enthusiasm up. That level of enthusiasm pumped up attendees at the zone conference I recently attended.” “Lately my experience with I-CAR has been a positive one,” explained Rob Saunders, San Luis Obispo CA I-CAR Volunteer Committee chairperson. “Processes have been streamlined. It’s much easier to get classes scheduled than in the past. The restructuring and change taking place was reemphasized at this conference and I see it as a change for the better.” “This has been the most open, candid, and encouraging set of I-CAR meetings I have attended in a long time,” stressed Doug Middleton, International Advisory Committee member and former I-CAR staff member. “It's been extremely gratifying to participate in the zone conferences,” emphasized Jeff Silver, past I-CAR CEO. “I want to do anything I can to help I-CAR succeed.” “It is critical for the success of I-CAR that we support our volunteers, program instructors, and customers by clearly understanding their needs and ultimately delivering a quality product to them,” stressed I-CAR Director of Marketing Joyce Kasmer. ”This is a top priority for the staff.” “The 2008 zone conferences proved to be a success with high participation from I-CAR volunteers and program instructors from around the country,” stated Jeff Peevy, I-CAR Director of Field Operations. “Held in three different parts of the United States from January through February, the zone conferences gave I-CAR senior staff the opportunity to meet with I-CAR volunteers and program instructors and share information as well as and get receive valuable feedback from those who also serve as the ‘Frontline of I-CAR.’”
