In addition to teaching, he is pursuing the Institute’s Accredited Automotive Manager (AAM) designation, which is awarded to students after completing 120 credits of management education.
“When I take an AMI course, I always leave with a new strategy or solution that I can immediately implement in the shop. AMI courses have made me more successful and I’m pleased to give my financial support to EXCEL,” said Anderson.
“Mike’s financial commitment to AMI is testimony to the value of the Institute and its courses. He has been in the classroom, both as a student and instructor, and knows firsthand the benefits of AMI education. We are very appreciative of his generous contribution to AMI,” said AMI Board of Trustees Chairman John Francis, AAM. AMI Executive Director Toni Slaton, AAM, added, “As an instructor, Mike always takes the opportunity to tell others about the benefits of AMI.
