Meeting Minutes

• The antitrust agreement was read and the minutes were approved.

• CIECAST 2021 webinars

  • Topics were shared for upcoming webinars.

  • We discussed having a common look on the first page of the presentations that could also be used as a thumbnail on YouTube. Melissa shared an example from IBIS that incorporates a headshot of the speaker. All agreed with this approach.

• Paulette provided an update about the creation of an Emerging Technologies Data Standards Committee, which is being announced today.

  • Ideas were shared on how to reach more OEMs. They included: Adapt magazine, DigIn update, ACE conference.

• Paulette gave an update about the CIECA OpenAPI Standards initiative.

• We talked about having a unique image for each of the committees.

• The CIECA Newsletter draft was shown and the committee liked the layout and sending it out on a quarterly basis. CIECA blue is the preferred shade. Attendees like a clean look using blue and white, rather than red. Chad suggested adding a section to spotlight board members and another suggestion was made to include the names of new CIECA members.

  • An idea was shared to ask board members to forward the newsletter to others in their companies who might be interested in learning more and getting involved. “Please share with your team.”

• A suggestion was made to set up a short questionnaire asking those who unsubscribe to the newsletter why they are doing so.

• We brainstormed ideas on how to encourage more new members to have an announcement written. We could say that it is standard procedure.

• Video Project (script, look and feel)

  • Attendees felt the script should be shortened and broken down into several shorter 30-45-second segments that could be spliced together.

  • Animation, especially whiteboard, is preferred over showing people in the industry because that will date quicker. Someone well-known in the industry could do the voiceover.

  • We could include testimonials.

• The group would like to continue using a Doodle poll each month to find a day to meetCONNEX (theme, graphic, Save the Date)

  • We shared the theme of the conference: Racing to the Future: The Digital Transformation of the Collision Industry.

  • Ideas for the graphic included using a vehicle in motion, Matrix, digital-looking, use CIECA color; ensure graphic looks good on all marketing materials: letterhead, gifts, electronic communication, banners, etc.

  • A Save the Date announcement will go out to announce the conference date.

  • Look for speakers who can present about topics that are forward-looking; what will industry look like in 3-5 years. The goal is to encourage more attendance from technical audience: business analysts, project managers, developers. Also, want to encourage more involvement from start-up companies. 60-70% of CIECA members are software companies.

• Video Project

  • We will set up a joint meeting consisting of Marketing and Education Committee members to show video samples.

• Update on Emerging Technologies Data Standards Committee

  • A meeting will be held prior to the kickoff meeting to discuss the agenda.

• Update on CIECA APIs initiative

  • The board will be asked to offer ideas on co-chairs for committees.
