“We cannot thank Enterprise enough for its crucial support of high-school and college collision-repair programs, instructors and students,” said Clark Plucinski, Executive Director of the Collision Repair Education Foundation. “We also hope that this important initiative will be continued and duplicated across the country going forward.”
Mary Mahoney, Vice President at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, serves on the Collision Repair Education Foundation Board of Trustees. “As a privately held, family-owned-operated business, Enterprise is unique in the car rental industry because it’s always able to make decisions and investments for the long term,” explained Mahoney. “That’s why investing in tomorrow’s technicians makes so much sense, both for us as well as for our business partners in the collision-repair industry. We are all so proud to be part of this effort.”
