Vernon Crump, body shop director at John Eagle Collision Center in Dallas, Texas, will be chairman of the 2003 International Autobody Congress & Exposition (NACE).Crump is a veteran NACE attendee with more than 25 years of experience in the collision repair industry. He is active in several industry groups, serves on numerous advisory committees and has a specific devotion to educating today's youth about careers in collision repair.
Crump runs a 50-employee, 75,000-sq. ft. dealer body shop that, because of its unique procedures and processes, regularly provides tours to area high school students and body shop owners and managers. He is an I-CAR instructor and past co-chairman of the Dallas I-CAR group. He has formerly served on the Texas State USA Skills/VICA board of directors and on advisory committees for the Texas State Technical Institute, Eastfield College in Dallas and two area high schools. Crump is also director of education for the Texas Educational Agency for the Summer Autobody Workshop.
In addition to being a NACE attendee for the past 17 years, Crump has led NACE seminars on managing assignments, customer expectations and direct repair program (DRP) relationships. He serves on the NACE Attendee Advisory Council, and in 2002, was instrumental in organizing a career day at NACE that was attended by more than 400 students.
He is a Certified Collision Repair Manager from the Masters School of Autobody and has a degree in marketing and management from the University of North Texas in Denton.
"NACE is an all industry event and therefore, we are very honored to have Vernon serve as the first dealer NACE chairman," said Galen Poss, president of Hanley-Wood Exhibitions, the NACE show management company. "His industry involvement and extensive background in collision repair, as well as his commitment to youth education, make him one of the industry's finest leaders," said Poss.
