The Award of Distinction has been given for bravery, philanthropy, charity, and selfless acts of kindness. It transcends the rigors of daily business to uncover those helping the world around them without a thought of recognition for themselves. Any individual, business organization, or group employed in a collision industry-related segment such as collision repair facility, vehicle manufacturer, supplier/vendor, educator, insurer, independent appraiser or trade association is eligible to be nominated. The winner will receive a trip for two in the continental US, 2 nights stay, and some spending money, with the whole trip package capped at $1,500.
In addition, the National Auto Body Council is making a concerted effort to recognize those who perform good deeds on an ongoing basis, not within the confines of any particular timeframe. “Anytime someone in the industry does something worthy of the award, we’d like to encourage folks to go the NABC
website and fill out the form we provide,” explained NABC Board Member and Award Chairman Kent Seavey. “The individuals who are so recognized will be featured in our newsletter and automatically become nominees for the Award of Distinction.”
“The collision repair industry is a dynamic profession that continually adapts to best address the challenges facing it,” added National Auto Body Council National Director Chuck Sulkala. “As our industry moves forward, it makes sense the awards promoting it should evolve, too. Like the Pride Award that came before it, the Award of Distinction will serve to shine a bright light on the best the industry has to offer.”
