The $1,000 Emil Stanley Merit Award is awarded annually to an individual who works in an Automotive Service Association (ASA) Collision Division member-business in good standing and who displays a desire to improve their business skills through management education. The 2013 award marks the 23rd year in which AMI and ASA have honored Emil Stanley with this commemorative management-oriented scholarship.
