Collision Repair Education Foundation Seeking Sponsors For Teachers’ Trips To NACE

The requested $1,500 (per instructor) sponsorship will include: travel to/from Detroit, hotel stay, meals, event registration and an exclusive instructor-focused program that will provide networking opportunities, product demonstrations and technical presentations.

nacecarsHOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. – The Collision Repair Education Foundation is seeking industry members to sponsor local high school and/or college collision instructors to attend the upcoming NACE | CARS 2015 show, taking place the week of July 20 in Detroit.

The requested $1,500 (per instructor) sponsorship will include: travel to/from Detroit, hotel stay, meals, event registration and an exclusive instructor-focused program that will provide networking opportunities, product demonstrations and technical presentations. Information gained from the instructor’s attendance will help keep them current on collision industry topics, which can then be shared with their students this fall.

This program also will serve as an opportunity for the foundation to introduce the instructors to the organization’s donors and allow them to express their gratitude for the continued support and share how these donations are making an impact on their collision students’ technical education.

“Through this program, industry members have an opportunity to sponsor a local high school or college collision school instructor to attend NACE | CARS 2015, who would otherwise not have the ability to attend,” said Brandon Eckenrode, Collision Repair Education Foundation director of development. “As the demand for properly trained, graduating, entry-level collision students grows, the sponsors can invest in the educators by assisting in their abilities to stay current with industry trends and information. Whether industry members have existing relationships with their local school instructors who they would like to sponsor or would like to be introduced to an instructor through the Education Foundation, we encourage the industry to consider participating.”

Companies or individuals interested in sponsoring a local high school and/or college collision school instructor should contact Eckenrode at [email protected] or (847) 463-5244.
