Nov. 13, 2019—The Collision Industry Foundation (CIF) announced that its first-ever Distinguished Service Award was recently presented to long-time board member Bill Shaw.
The award was created to highlight an individual's efforts in support of the CIF mission and vision.
Bill joined the CIF board as a trustee in 2008, served as board vice president in 2009-10, and was appointed to the position of board president in 2011, serving in that role for the next 9 years and working to provide assistance to industry families in need of assistance, particularly after natural disasters or other catastrophic events.
In order to increase the fundraising opportunities, Shaw moved the annual CIF fundraiser gala to Palm Springs in conjunction with the Collision Industry Conference in 2014. He also led the trustees in leaving something behind, so it was not uncommon to see the trustees volunteering during the meetings at local food banks.
