Jan. 11, 2017—The Indiana Auto Body Association (IABA) announced on Tuesday that Tony Passwater, executive director of IABA, resigned on Jan. 5.

Passwater was instrumental in getting the IABA afloat in 2005, starting in the Indianapolis area. For the past 12 years, he helped IABA  spread across the state.

The IABA board of directors said it would like existing and prospective members to know that the IABA will continue.

Passwater and the board are working closely for a smooth transition.
