“The commitment and dedication to our mission is evident in the number of returning board members who ran and were re-elected to another term,” said Domenic Brusco, chairman of the NABC. “Each of us has personally witnessed the impact of NABC initiatives and, as a result, are passionate about sharing and involving more of our industry colleagues so we can change and save even more lives.”
According to Brusco, a record 300-plus vehicles will have been donated this year by NABC members through its Recycled Rides program, and hundreds of first responders have had the opportunity to gain additional skills through the First Responder Emergency Extrication (FREE) program. Plus, a first-ever toolkit for NABC’s Distracted Driving initiative will soon be available to help local shops share this important message to school youth.
“It is exciting and rewarding to see such enthusiasm from this group of industry leaders,” said NABC Executive Director Chuck Sulkala. “Our board and staff are looking forward to exploring even more opportunities to showcase the professionalism and integrity of our collision industry.”
In addition to Sulkala, NABC staff members include Linda Sulkala, Recycled Rides program manager, Kim Kimbriel, PR/marketing manager, and Mike McManus and the staff of Technical Enterprises Inc., which provides administrative support services.
