AkzoNobel donated $7,500 in May to the I-CAR Education Foundation, I-CAR announced today. The contribution to the Education Foundation Industry Partners Annual Fund will support foundation activities that promote and enhance career opportunities in the collision repair industry.

"AkzoNobel has already impacted career and technical education through their Most Influential Women in Collision Repair Industry student scholarship that has been offered for the past five years," said Chris Evans, Chairman of the I-CAR Education Foundation board of trustees. "However, AkzoNobel is continuing to improve the collision repair education system with their generous donation to the I-CAR Education Foundation."  
 
Tom Moreland, director of national accounts for AkzoNobel Car Refinish Americas, added: “Creating opportunities for our current workforce, growing a pool of future talent, and ensuring that both are properly educated is critical to the advancement of the collision industry.”
