"Caliber Collision has a long-standing commitment to workforce development.  Our commitment to the Collision Repair Education Foundation is one of the many ways we ensure that today's young adults see our industry as a challenging and profitable profession.  We look forward to awarding scholarships to future collision repair industry leaders across the southwest," stated Mark Sanders, COO for Caliber Collision Centers.

I thank Caliber Collision for their continued support of the Collision Repair Education Foundation and their local collision schools."
