Outgoing Chairman Clark Pluckinski did an excellent job conveying that message. Clark has proven to be a wonderful leader and guide for the Board of Trustees and the Education Foundation as a whole.” “As Chairman, Clark was able to bring the Foundation and the industry together through the $100 per Collision Repair Facility per Year campaign,” said Ron Ray, Executive Director of the I-CAR Education Foundation. “Clark’s leadership was essential to the success of the program. We will see the full effect of the program once the funds are allocated to local career and technical schools and colleges. I know that Chris will be the kind of leader that will be able to pick-up where Clark left off and will be able to handle the role with precision and ease.” “I look forward to working with the Board, our wonderfully dedicated staff, and I-CAR to move the organization to the next level. There’s no stopping what the Foundation can do for students and local career and technical schools and colleges,” concluded Evans. The I-CAR Education Foundation, founded in 1991, is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to securing donations that support philanthropic and collision repair education activities that promote and enhance career opportunities in the industry.
