Hermanek, chief client officer at Insurance Auto Auctions. “IAA values the important work the Collision Repair Education Foundation does in building awareness of the industry and rewarding those students who bring passion for their trade.”

“Insurance Auto Auctions’s donation significantly helps our efforts in supporting secondary and post-secondary collision students and their school’s collision programs," said Clark Plucinski, Collision Repair Education Foundation executive director. "It is through this continued support that the Education Foundation can help ensure that students receive the best educational experience possible before entering into the industry.”
