“Every vehicle owner expects that their collision-damaged vehicle will be properly and safely repaired,” said Jim Roach, chair of the I-CAR International Board of Directors. “Our industry is obliged to meet these expectations. And an ever-changing and more sophisticated vehicle technology compels I-CAR to work even harder to make sure that our industry has the information, knowledge and skills required to perform complete, safe and quality repairs. The I-CAR Board of Directors is resolutely committed to this important goal.”
The board sets the overall strategic direction for I-CAR and assists in obtaining resources in support of the I-CAR mission.
