The Georgia Collision Industry Association (GCIA) hosted its annual golf tournament on Wednesday, Oct. 2 to benefit a local collision repair education program.
The event took place at the Trophy Club of Atlanta in Alpharetta, Ga., and raised $2,000 for Maxwell High School of Technology’s collision program through the help of the association’s sponsors. Gold sponsors of the event included:
- Axalta Coating Systems
- BASF
- NAPA
- AkzoNobel
- PPG
- Single Source Inc.
"The average age of technicians in our industry is approaching 50 years old, so we’ve got to grow the younger people in the industry and make sure they’re educated on the new technology that’s in these vehicles," said Howard Batchelor, executive director of GCIA. "We want to show [students] this is a great industry to work for, and we need to recruit more people into it."
