Business Tools | Wednesday July 3 CIECA Appoints Fred Iantorno New Executive DirectorThe CIECA Executive Committee has announced that Executive Director Roger Cadaret will be leaving the end of July, 2002, and be succeeded by Fred Iantorno. Mr. Cadaret was retained as consultant to the founders of CIECA in 1993, and has been under contract to serve as Executive Director since the founding. Earlier this year Mr. Cadaret advised CIECA that he would not seek a new contract when his current term expired. When asked of his plans, Mr. Cadaret said, "Well, it has been a long time, nearly ten years, and I have decided it is time for a change. CIECA has grown and become a significant influence in the collision industry, and even though there is a lot to be pleased with, and still a lot to do, I am ready to do something different. I plan to do more varied things in the field of electronic commerce consulting, and hopefully some of that will be in the collision repair industry." Replacing Mr. Cadaret as the new Executive Director of CIECA will be Fred Iantorno. Iantorno brings a wealth of knowledge to CIECA as he has been involved with standards setting organizations since early 1988. In addition to being one of the founding members of CIECA, Fred’s accomplishments include; founding member of the Property & Casualty Insurance group which establishes EDI standards under ANSI (American National Standards Institute), two terms as the Vice Chair of X12N Insurance Subcommittee, a member of the DISA (Data Interchange Standards Association) Board of Directors for 8 years and numerous other Industry related organizations. Upon accepting the position of Executive Director, Fred Iantorno commented, "Over the past eight years, CIECA has compiled a long list of accomplishments that its members should be very proud of. The current business environment presents a new set of challenges to the industry and to CIECA and its members. I look forward to leading CIECA to meet these challenges and to the next level of accomplishment." CIECA assists all segments of the Collision Repair Industry in the effective use of electronic commerce and the National Information Superhighway. CIECA’s membership comprise all segments of collision repair: insurers, body and glass repair facilities, parts & materials suppliers, information and software providers, and related general services. CIECA has developed processes for identifying and prioritizing industry issues, establishing Action Teams to design solutions, and then working these solutions through the broadest base of acceptance mechanisms possible, such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ©2002 Collision Repair Industry INSIGHT | FEATURED INSIGHT Supports the NABC! |
