Mechanicsville, Virginia, March 16, 2020 – On Friday, March, 13th, in the wake of President Trump’s declaration of a National State of Emergency due to the CoronaVirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the Collision Industry Conference (CIC) announced a prudent cancellation of the April industry meetings being held in Jacksonville, Florida.

This cancellation includes the events hosted by the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS), such as the Open Board Meeting, Annual Election, Repairer Roundtable and the Awards and Corporate Member Recognition Luncheon.

In accordance with the SCRS bylaws, all members will be notified of the new date of the annual election thirty (30) days in advance of the meeting. This election will fill three (3) open board seats, and the candidates will remain as previously announced to our membership:
