Dec. 7, 2017—The Indiana Autobody Association (IABA) donated $500 to the Hoosier Hills Career Center at a chapter meeting.
IABA treasurer, Debbie Moore of Diamond Collision, and board member, Max Bland of Minton Body Shop, presented the $500 check to the center’s collision repair program.
The director of the program says he plans to use the funds to provide a more productive environment for students.
The IABA plans to increase its partnership and scholarship within the state schools to combat the technician shortage.
Several members are already heavily involved with their local vocational schools.
