Nov. 8, 2013—The Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) announced Friday that its Repairer Driven Education series featured more than 4,000 pre-registered attendees this year.
SCRS chairman Ron Reichen said that in only four years, interest in the series has grown exponentially, from only 200 pre-registered attendees the first year.
"Part of SCRS' mission is to offer education information to our members and the industry overall that is relevant, applicable and well-presented," Reichen said. "We are thrilled that, together with our RDE sponsors, we are able to fill a need for our members and industry professionals looking to improve themselves and their businesses."
SCRS said the series brought a variety of repairers, from apprentice techs to multi-location facility owners, looking to improve their businesses.
This year’s series features more than 21 seminar offerings, including classes on business succession planning, accessing OEM repair information, and selling your business.
