Reminder to RSVP for SCRS events in Nashville by March 29

The SCRS Repairer Roundtable meeting will be from 8:30am - 11:00am in the Ryman Studio PQR. This year, SCRS welcomes the Director of Workforce Development at Tennessee Department of Economic & Community Development, Ann Thompson, and Kenyatta Lovett, Ph.D., Executive Director at Complete Tennessee. Their topic will be about TN-based programs developed to spur more adults and graduating high school students to work toward a degree or certificate in a vocational school or program, with an objective of better meeting market demand for skilled workers. Dan Caldwell, Senior Manager of Learning Pathways for Nissan’s U.S. manufacturing operations will follow with a look into Nissan’s application of these programs to address a shortage of skilled workers, and how the collaboration between the state and industry addressed that need. Finally, attorney and consumer advocate Erica Eversman will speak to her role as Consumer Liaison with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Eversman will share perspectives from her first NAIC meeting in this capacity and delve into ways in which the collision repair community can better interact with regulatory bodies, to advocate for our consumers and raise awareness of critical issues affecting the marketplace. 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 Old Hickory 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. There is no fee to attend any of the events, but SCRS does require a RSVP for both the Repairer Roundtable and the Awards Luncheon; please click here or send an email to [email protected]. Please respond no later than Friday, March 29th.
