of grant-making and awarding; experience with investment
portfolio or endowment management; and understanding of the
needs from collision repair schools and colleges.
Collision Repair Education Foundation Board of Trustees
Chairman Doug Webb said, “The addition of motivated and
qualified new Board members is amongst the highest
priorities of our Board Recruitment, Development &
Succession Committee. Through the Committee’s efforts, the
four areas have been identified as particular needs at this
time. We welcome interested industry members who believe
they can assist the Education Foundation in one of these
areas and assist the future of the industry.”
Collision Repair Education Foundation Executive Director
Scott Kruger said, “Since 2008, the Education Foundation has
been able to provide over $3 million in support to auto body
students and their school programs. This success has been
through the generosity of our donors and the governance of
our Board of Trustees. In our efforts to assist this group
in 2011 and beyond, the Education Foundation is seeking
additional industry professionals to serve on our Board of
Trustees and help guide this national organization to an
even higher level.”
