The Automotive Management Institute (AMI) is accepting applications for the 2015 Emil Stanley Merit Award. The scholarship is awarded annually to an individual who works in an Automotive Service Association (ASA) Collision Division member-business and who displays a desire to improve their business skills through management education.
The 2015 award marks the 25th year in which AMI and ASA have honored Emil Stanley with this commemorative, management-oriented scholarship. The award recipient will receive $1,000 toward expenses to attend the 2015 International Autobody Congress & Exposition (NACE) in Detroit, July 23-25. NACE, the world’s largest collision repair event, is sponsored by ASA and offers a comprehensive lineup of AMI, industry and technical seminars, as well as an exposition with hundreds of diverse exhibiting companies displaying the latest equipment, products and services and technology available to today’s collision repair industry.
To be eligible for the award, applicants must:
- work in the collision repair industry
- demonstrate an interest in self-improvement through management education
- own or work for a business that is an ASA member in good standing
- be recommended by the business owner (if the applicant is not the business owner)
AMI trustees and their employees, and the Emil Stanley Scholarship Selection Committee and their employees, are not eligible to apply.
To request a scholarship application, call AMI at (817) 514-2900, ext. 129, or complete an application online at www.amionline.org. Applications must be received by AMI on or before June 15. The scholarship recipient will be notified by AMI on or before June 20.
ASA established the Emil Stanley Merit Award to honor Stanley’s lifelong contributions to the automotive service industry. Publisher of Automotive Body Repair News (ABRN) until his death in 1989, he was a strong advocate of NACE and of professionalizing the automotive repair industry. The scholarship is made possible by commitments from ASA to AMI’s resource development effort – EXCEL.
