Award to honor aftermarket companies invested in employee education and training.
The Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) announced its new “Head of the Class Award,” to annually honor up to six aftermarket companies that continually invest in employee education and training. The award was created and will be administered by the AAIA Education Committee on behalf of the association.
One “Head of the Class Award” is scheduled to be presented to an AAIA member company in each industry category, including manufacturer, warehouse distributor, independent jobber/parts store, national retailer/service chain, independent service and repair shop and manufacturers’ representative. Applicants must include information directly related to the education and training practices of the company, including what prompted the company to invest in training, the types of training accomplished, the initial goals, their experiences, results of the training and any future plans.
Applications are due by Monday, Aug. 1, and winning companies will be notified in September. Winners will be selected by the AAIA Education Committee, and then recognized during AAPEX 2011 in Las Vegas, Nev.
Application forms and full submission requirements are available at www.aftermarket.org/education. Please fax or e-mail the nomination form and supplementary documents to Sue Kalish, senior director, education, AAIA, at 301-654-3299 or [email protected]. For more information, call 301-654-6664.
