The Hawaiian word Kina’ole embodies "Doing the right thing, in the right way, at the right time, in the right place, to the right person, for the right reason, with the right feeling, the first time." It is an ethos that has permeated the work of SCRS, instilled in the organization by March Taylor, owner of Auto Body Hawaii in Kailua Kona, Hawaii, and SCRS board member. On August 26th, 2007, the industry lost one of its great contributors when March Taylor passed away. “This man’s ethic, and spirit, and passion for mentorship and leadership have had such a resounding effect on so many in this industry,” shared SCRS Chairman, Brett Bailey. “There isn’t a day that goes by that he isn’t remembered and not a moment we all don’t work to live up the legacy that March left behind.” “From the first delivery, this award has been about demonstrating our appreciation to others who we see do the right thing, for the right reasons, without any other motivation,” added SCRS Past Chairman, Barry Dorn. “It is a way to keep our friend’s memory alive, by recognizing his light burning in others who share that same spirit and passion for making this industry great. The presentation that will be made at the 2019 SEMA Show could not be more fitting.” The Collision Industry Red Carpet Awards Breakfast places a priority on encouraging and recognizing greatness in individuals, companies, and actions in the collision repair industry, and the excitement and energy of the SEMA Show provides the perfect backdrop for such distinguished presentations. The Breakfast is made possible with support from AMI, Body Shop Business and SCRS.
