Stacy Bartnik, assistant vice president — director of field services for CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts, was elected president of the National Auto Body Council (NABC) for the 2011 term.
Bartnik has long been a leader in the collision repair industry. She has worked in many segments of the collision industry including as a shop estimator, general manager, insurance adjuster, trainer and consultant. She is a recognized industry figure, often appearing at NACE as a speaker and presenter; as a contributing editor for ABRN; and was honored in 2004 by AkzoNobel as one of the Most Influential Women in the Collision Industry.

In addition to her role with NABC, Stacy currently serves on Automotive Service Association’s (ASA) Collision Operations Committee, is an Education Foundation trustee, a member of the Women’s Industry Network (WIN) and served on the executive board of the Society of Collision Repairs Specialists (SCRS).

With this honor, she received an eagle pin that signifies her membership. This is a prestigious fraternity in which few are recognized.
