The Automotive Management Institute (AMI) will honor its 20th class of
Accredited Automotive Managers (AAMs) during Industry Week 2014, set for
July 29-Aug. 2 at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Mich.
The AAM certification is awarded to automotive service professionals
after they successfully complete course work and earn 120 credits of
management education. Graduates are recognized during a formal cap and
gown ceremony. More than 1,700 individuals have earned the AAM
designation, with approximately 100 new graduates each year.
Industry Week 2014 will co-locate several of the industry’s key events,
including the International Autobody Congress & Exposition (NACE),
the Congress of Automotive Repair and Service (CARS), the I-CAR Conference and the
Collision Industry Conference.
“Many events are planned for Industry Week 2014, giving our new
graduates an exciting forum during which to be honored,” said AMI
Executive Director Toni Slaton, AAM. “Graduates will also have the
opportunity to take in everything Industry Week will offer, including a
premier trade show, meetings, conferences, networking and education
essential to their business success.”
As a result of the anticipated size and scope of the new Industry Week,
AMI will not hold a graduation ceremony during the upcoming Automotive
Service and Repair Week (ASRW) in October in Las Vegas. It will,
however, offer more than 41 AMI-approved classes during ASRW, giving
students an opportunity to earn credits toward the AAM and potentially
graduate in July 2014.
