The open meeting will be immediately followed by SCRS’ annual election for open seats on the board of directors. The election will begin at 5:15pm and ballot collection will close promptly at 5:45pm. This election will fill four (4) open board seats, and candidates include:

On Wednesday, SCRS will be hosting the Repairer Roundtable meeting from 9:00am – 11:00am in the Westminster 2 room. This year, SCRS is excited to welcome Jack Hartung, Chief Financial Officer of Chipotle Mexican Grill as guest speaker for the program. Jack will provide SCRS audience members with an intimate look into the critical role of culture in an organization; the idea of reshaping the consumer expectation; the challenges and potential for success in developing a business model that accounts for higher quality and higher associated costs, even in competition with low-cost providers; and the fundamental importance of consumer trust, how easy it is to lose, and necessary measures to build it back.

Immediately after the Roundtable event (and just prior to the start of CIC) at 11:15am on Wednesday, SCRS will host the annual Industry Awards and Corporate Member Recognition lunch in the Westminster 1 room. The event, which will include lunch, is designed to recognize organizations that contribute significant support to SCRS through their Corporate Membership, as well as to recognize some of the tremendous contributions made to the advancement of the industry.

There is no fee to attend any of the events, but SCRS does require a RSVP for both the Repairer Roundtable and the Awards Luncheon; please click here or send an email to info@scrs.com. Please respond no later than Friday, March 30th.
