sion Repair Education Foundation is seeking industry members to sponsor a local high school and/or college collision instructor to attend the upcoming NACE / CARS 2015 Expo taking place in Detroit this July.  The requested $1500 (per instructor) sponsorship will include: instructor travel to/from Detroit, hotel stay, meals, event registration, and an exclusive instructor-focused program that will provide the instructors networking opportunities, off-site tours, industry presentations, and more. The deadline to sponsor an instructor(s) is Friday, June 19th.

This program will also serve as a great opportunity for the Education Foundation to introduce the instructors to the organization’s donors and allow the instructors to express their gratitude for the continued support and how these donations are making an impact on their collision program and students.

“This is a great opportunity for a local business or group to help provide a local collision school instructor with the opportunity to learn about the latest trends and technical information within the industry and bring that knowledge back to their classroom this fall,” said Brandon Eckenrode, Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development.  “We have roughly 20 instructors already sponsored and please reach out to us if you are interested in helping provide a local instructor with this opportunity.”

Companies or individuals interested in sponsoring a local high school and/or college collision school instructor for this program should contact Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode at Brandon.Eckenrode@ed‑foundation.org / 847.463.5244.
