The Collision Repair Executive Webcast (CREW) is a topical, high-level collision industry webcast with guest speakers, presentations and panel discussions on topics of interest and current events concerning the property and casualty insurance, collision repair and related auto physical damage aftermarket industries. The delivery format includes a web-based visual presentation of the content with a simultaneous audio conference call, enabling audience members to participate from the convenience of their home or office.
This first-of-its-kind, bi-monthly communication and educational forum within the collision repair industry is the product of ongoing collaboration and participation by Vincent Romans along with Marcy Tieger of Symphony Advisors, LLC and Erick Bickett of Fix Auto.
January 1, 2016 - After almost a decade of webinars focusing on a broad range of timely and informative topics and covering the entire auto physical damage ecosystem, we have decided to cease production of CREW webinars in order for us to devote our respective time and energy to other interests that support our clients, businesses and industry initiatives. It has been a pleasure and honor to have been so deeply integrated and to support all of the various segments within the broader auto physical damage industry through our CREW webinars.
