On Tuesday, April 18, the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) will hold an open board meeting from 3 - 5 p.m. in the Grand Station 3 room at the Sheraton Station Square in Pittsburgh, Pa. Everyone wishing to learn more about the association's industry work is encouraged to attend. The two hour meeting will include updates from SCRS staff, committees, and guests from the industry sharing what they have undertaken on behalf of the membership. At the conclusion of the open meeting, SCRS will premiere the next installment of the SCRS video series.

The open meeting will be immediately followed by SCRS' annual election for open seats on the board of directors. The election will begin at 5:15pm and ballot collection will close promptly at 5:45pm. The election is open to current designated voting representatives of SCRS member businesses. Members must be present to vote. To join as a member of SCRS to participate in the upcoming election, contact the association office at [email protected]. The election will fill four (4) open board seats, and candidates include incumbents Amber Alley and Brett Bailey; and new nominees Mark Schaech, Jr.; Matthew McDonnell; Trace Coccimiglio; and Justin Forkuo. The nominee's bios can be viewed by clicking here. On Wednesday, SCRS will be hosting the Repairer Roundtable meeting from 8:30am - 11:00am in the Waterfront room. The Roundtable has evolved into a platform for captivating presentations intended to stimulate open discussion among the participants in the room. The 2017 event is going to focus on current and future technology evolutions that have direct impact on collision repairer's approach to modern day repairs.

Immediately after the Roundtable event (and just prior to the start of CIC) at 11:15am on Wednesday, SCRS will host the annual Industry Awards and Corporate Member Recognition lunch in the Admiral room. The event, which will include lunch, is designed to recognize organizations that contribute significant support to SCRS through their Corporate Membership, as well as to recognize some of the tremendous contributions made to the advancement of the industry.
