Presenter: Brandon Eckenrode, Managing Director, Collision Repair Education Foundation
The Collision Repair Education Foundation is committed to making a significant impact on the future of the collision industry. They are proud to serve as the liaison between generous partners in the collision inter-industry, the students who represent the next generation of highly-skilled collision technicians, and the schools and programs who educate them.
CREF encourages their inter-industry colleagues – collision repair shops, insurers, materials and equipment suppliers, service and information providers, vehicle manufacturers, related businesses, I-CAR Committees, local business groups, and trade associations – to invest in our shared future. Through the inter-industry generosity CREF will benefit not only today’s and tomorrow’s students, but also the businesses – both local and nationwide – that depend upon collision industry schools to prepare entry-level employees of the highest caliber.
