Today, John Edelen, I-CAR’s President and CEO, announced that Tom McGee, director of industry relations and product operations and former president and CEO, is leaving the organization.
“Tom McGee has been a great asset for I-CAR and for the auto collision inter-industry. He has been a loyal and selfless champion of I-CAR, here in North America, and in New Zealand and Australia,” Edelen said. “A true visionary, Tom McGee has influenced many of the positive developments that I-CAR has been able to achieve over the past decade and a half.”
Edelen credited the development of I-CAR’s Wisconsin Tech Centre and the establishment of the Training Support Center in Illinois to McGee’s vision and commitment.
“Tom McGee’s real legacy at I-CAR will be the thousands of students who have benefited from I-CAR courses developed with his involvement and under his direction, and the I-CAR staff whom he has developed for the benefit of the inter-industry,” Edelen added. “I-CAR is grateful for Tom’s many contributions over the years, and we wish him great success in the future.”
The areas of product operations, industry relations, the I-CAR Training Alliance, and international, for which McGee was responsible, will be re-assigned among I-CAR’s staff directors.
