Any person employed in a collision repair shop as a manager or principal is eligible. The shop can be independent, a dealership or a franchise. The winner and a guest will receive an all-expenses paid trip to the International Autobody Congress & Exposition (NACE) Nov. 5-7, 2009, in Las Vegas, where he or she will officially be presented with the award. To be considered, fully completed nominations must be received by Sept. 30, 2009. Click HERE for the nomination form.
