I-CAR, ASE, I-CAR EDUCATION FOUNDATION, AND NATEF TO HOLD DRAWING FOR CAR-O-LINER WELDER AT NACE 2005

HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL – September 9, 2005 – I-CAR, ASE, the I-CAR Education Foundation, and NATEF will co-sponsor a drawing for a Car-O-Liner CR500 Welder for qualified NACE attendees. Entrants can “Solve the Professionalism Puzzle” and become eligible to win the welder for their business or school by visiting all four co-sponsored booths during NACE. Eligible entrants must be from a business that has I-CAR trained and ASE-certified employee(s), or be employed or attend an ASE-certified NATEF career and technical school or college, which also utilizes the I-CAR curriculum.

A “Professionalism” puzzle piece will be provided to all interested participants at each of the four booths. All four puzzle pieces must be collected before entering the drawing. Completed puzzle entries can then be dropped off at any of the four booths. Car-O-Liner will have the CR500 Welder that they donated on display at their booth during NACE. The winning business or school entry will then be randomly selected at the conclusion of Saturday’s NACE exposition day.

I-CAR President and CEO Tom McGee said, “This promotion provides the opportunity for I-CAR, ASE, I-CAR Education Foundation, NATEF, and Car-O-Liner to recognize the importance of training, education, and certification in today’s collision industry. In today’s changing industry, combining these achievements is vital to the success of a collision industry professional.”

“We are grateful to Car-O-Liner for donating the welder for this special promotion at NACE,” said Ron Weiner, ASE president. “It’s a great way to spotlight the value that training, education, and certification brings to the collision industry.”
