2010 I-CAR INDUSTRY CONFERENCE ONLINE REGISTRATION NOW OPEN

Hoffman Estates, IL - May 10, 2010 - I-CAR, the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair has announced that online registration for the 2010 I-CAR Industry Conference is now open. The half-day conference on July 21 from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. will be held at the InterContinental Chicago O’Hare Hotel in Rosemont, IL.

This year’s event will coincide with several other industry meetings being held during the same week. During the conference, I-CAR will introduce its redesigned, role-based curriculum structure to the inter-industry.

“For the past two and a half years, I-CAR has been allowed to facilitate an industry-wide conversation on the training needs of the auto collision inter-industry. The industry has told I-CAR what is required of I-CAR to deliver on its vision that every person in the collision industry, current and future, has the necessary knowledge and skills relevant to their position to achieve a complete and safe repair,” said John Edelen, I-CAR President and CEO. “I-CAR has focused on clearly defining industry roles, identifying the knowledge and skills needed to be effective in each role, and developing a training and recognition structure that we believe aligns with the direction of the industry,” he continued. “With the introduction of the role-based curriculum, I-CAR will present the outcome of that effort – a significant re-engineering of I-CAR’s training, the organization of its curriculum, its industry recognition programs, and the transition that will take place.”

Jeff Peevy, I-CAR Director of Field Operations said, “These changes will provide tremendous value to a broad range of inter-industry segments. The redesigned role-relevant training model provides organization and structure for career development paths, linking training more closely to the performance of an individual’s role.”
