He was also inducted into the “Hall of Eagles,” the collision industry’s equivalent of the “Hall of Fame,” in December 2003. “I am excited at the opportunity to raise awareness of safety and environmental compliance issues,” said Enlow. “With CCAR, we have the knowledge and the methods to improve and extend the lives of technicians, customers and visiting appraisers. It’s called ‘compliance,’ but safety and environmental responsibility is really just good business. My job will be to help companies realize industry effort is required.” “We believe Rod Enlow’s expertise will be helpful in taking our message to the overall industry,” said Stewart. “He is well respected and technically astute, and his knowledge of the industry and his reputation will help us improve our relationships with larger companies and school districts. It is exciting to add Rod to our roster.” Enlow added, “The industry must develop the spirit of compliance, which means we must ‘talk it in order to walk it.’ No company wants to be viewed by its employees, ownership or business partners as not being committed to the environment and the safety of its front-line technicians. We all should want the legacy of leaving the world better than we found it.” ©2004 Collision Repair Industry INSIGHT | FEATURED
