Highlights of the conference included a keynote address on selling across generations, a look into the insurance boardroom and breakout sessions focused on aligning collision repair businesses to meet and exceed the demands of the future.
Notable diversions such as a masquerade ball and a rooftop poolside reception rounded out the event, as well as an awards ceremony.
However, the most unusual part of the program involved a team-building presentation—facilitated by corporate team-building company Impact 4 Good—in which participants built solar cars and raced them in a tournament-style competition.
What made this event noteworthy was its philanthropy on behalf of a local non-profit network of free, public charter schools, the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) of New Orleans. Not only were KIPP students allowed to participate in the competition, but upon its completion the solar cars and additional kits were donated to the schools, a gifting that will help the students learn the importance of energy conservation and alternative methods of transportation.
“In addition to helping our members get to know each other better, this teambuilding exercise gave us a chance to make a tangible, positive impact in the community that graciously hosted our industry this year,” said Fix Auto President and C.O.O Paul Gange. “The hands-on materials we donated will promote education in the math and sciences; subjects that are critical to our youth’s success and the ability of our nation to compete on a global scale.”
Impact 4 Good is a socially conscious corporate teambuilding company whose activities are designed to give back to the community. The company collaborates with national and international partners, utilizing a worldwide network of community service organizations to ensure that activities benefit both employee participants and communities in need.
