“As a result of strong active board leadership, our membership has grown significantly over the past few years as more and more companies experience the value and benefits of participating in NABC initiatives,” said Chuck Sulkala, NABC executive director. “We welcome nominations from all segments of the collision industry for leaders who are willing to invest the time and effort to help guide the organization in our ongoing efforts to promote community initiatives that exemplify the professionalism and integrity of the collision industry.”
NABC initiatives include the Recycled Rides program that has resulted in over 1,000 vehicles being donated to deserving individuals and nonprofit organizations since its inception in 2007. Other NABC community service programs include First Responder Emergency Extrication (FREE) and the Distracted Driving initiative.
