      • Recyclers: EV battery or open recall panel discussion with Caryn Smith from ARA moderating (this was done two years ago during conference).

      • Insurance: blockchain?

        • Its hard to incorporate Blockchain blockchain with CIECA

          • This would be good for CIC to present

    • The Committee liked the January CIECAST where members from different business segments all presented on one topic and how it impacted each of them. This is something we may be able to do more of to see cross impact.

• Video

  • Script was sent to the Marketing and Executive Committee Education Committees for feedback

    • It was suggested that the length of the video be shortened. The current script takes around 5 min to get through, and this would be a little longer than most people will pay attention too. Recommend a 3 min What three-minute “What is CIECA video video” and/or shorter 30-45-second videos that can be played with or individual to discuss the other areasindividually or spliced together.

    • Animation is preferred to keep the video neutral.

      • If you use someone in to speak from the industry or brands, it limits the life span lifespan of the video if someone retires or leaves the organization.

      • No Cartooncartoons, but white board whiteboard flow is preferred.

    • We have the contact for the company that worked on the Calibration video that is ready to meet to start discussing options.

    • Possible voiceover of someone that is known in the industry.

    • Include testimonials.
