HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.  – I-CAR has announced that members of the collision inter-industry thank the thousands of volunteers who make I-CAR training possible during National Volunteer Week from April 19-25. Established in 1974, National Volunteer Week presents an opportunity to celebrate the ordinary people who accomplish extraordinary things through their volunteer service.

I-CAR has launched, as part of its celebration of industry volunteers,  a volunteer recruitment and training initiative along with a volunteer recognition program in conjunction with the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation.

“I-CAR volunteers make a difference in the lives and careers of tens of thousands of collision inter-industry professionals each year through their dedicated service to training and education,” said John Edelen, I-CAR President and CEO. “As we prepare to celebrate volunteerism and inter-industry training at the I-CAR 30th Annual Industry Conference in July, there can be no better way to launch these celebrations than through the recognition of these dedicated inter-industry volunteers.”

Individuals interested in becoming an I-CAR volunteer, along with those who already give their time to inter-industry education, can participate in a series of I-CAR Volunteer Orientation training seminars designed to improve the volunteer experience and help individuals achieve their personal goals.

Mike Miller, I-CAR Field Support Manager, notes, “This four-part Volunteer Orientation program will help both new volunteers and our veterans better leverage the time they invest in their local volunteer I-CAR committees. As a training organization, providing these seminars was a natural path to take to improve the volunteer experience.”

Information on the I-CAR Volunteer Orientation training seminars including a seminar schedule is available at the I-CAR website by clicking on the Committee/Volunteers link near the bottom of the home page.
