National Auto Body Council Now Accepting Nominations for 2013 Award of Distinction

Award recognizes selfless acts of kindness within the collision repair industry.

The National Auto Body Council (NABC) is now accepting nominations for its Award of Distinction. The deadline to submit a nomination is Sept. 15.

The Award of Distinction has been given for bravery, philanthropy, charity and selfless acts of kindness. It transcends the rigors of daily business to uncover those helping the world around them without a thought of recognition for themselves. Any individual, business organization, or group employed in a collision industry-related segment such as a collision repair facility, vehicle manufacturer, supplier/vendor, educator, insurer, independent appraiser or trade association is eligible to be nominated. The winner will receive a trip for two in the continental U.S. with a  two-night stay and some spending money, with the whole trip package capped at $1,500.

In addition, the National Auto Body Council is making a concerted effort to recognize those who perform good deeds on an ongoing basis, not just on one occasion.

“Anytime someone in the industry does something worthy of the award, we’d like to encourage folks to go the NABC website and fill out the form we provide,” said NABC Board Member Janet Chaney. “The individuals who are recognized will be featured in our newsletter and automatically become nominees for the Award of Distinction.”

“The collision repair industry is a dynamic profession that continually adapts to best address the challenges facing it,” added NABC National Director Chuck Sulkala. “As our industry moves forward, it makes sense the awards promoting it should evolve, too. Like the Pride Award that came before it, the Award of Distinction will serve to shine a bright light on the best the industry has to offer.”
