      • We reached out to Susanna Gotsch but she is retiring and CCC said that another speaker would likely be able to present later in the year.

      • We talked about having Greg Peeters, Car ADAS Solutions, present. Don and Ginny suggested that we share informaton about the different types of aftermarket/recycled parts that might be used due to the supply chain and parts availability.

      • Chris Miller from Repairify is intereseted in potentially speaking.

      • Don had previously suggested having CIECA members share information about their use of standards and how it changed their businesses.

      • OEM insurance: Stacey will reach out to Lemonade, Tesla and GM.

    • Due to our past discussions about the word “CIECAST” being difficult to pronounce and spell, we are calling our webinars “CIECA Webinars” for now. There seems to be no change in registrations or understanding about what they are since this change.

  • CONNEX Presenters 2023

    • We discussed having a deadline for speaking submissions and determined it would be no later then June 30 to be able to publicize the agenda.

Don suggested having someone from the insurance segment present. Stacey will reach out to Bill Brower, Stephen Applebaum and Ed Mondragon for suggestions. Unfortuntately, he won’t be able to attend the conference but it would be great to have someone from State Farm present since the office is so close.

    • Bill Brower suggested having someone talk about telematics on the insurance side. Stacey will reach out to CMT.
