Minutes

  • Antitrust statement was read and the meeting minutes were accepted.

  • Video script: Thank you to those who provided comments on the first draft of the YRDAW script. The comments will be incorporated and sent back to YDRAW for revision.

  • 2021 CIECAST Webinars Update:

    • April - 2021R1; Paulette Reed to present.

    • May - Stacey to confirm with Brady Bonner if speaker from Safelite will be available to present in May.

    • June - Meetings have been set up with CCC and Solera to talk about presentation topics.

    • Information Privacy - Brandon Laur from CCI agreed to present during an upcoming webinar.

  • CONNEX

    • MC - Kim has kindly offered to MC the event.

    • Tour - Hendrick Motorsports is still not open and currently has no scheduled re-opening date. Stacey reached out to the NASCAR Hall of Fame Museum as a back-up. Guided one-hour tours are offered for $26/per person and include admission. Regular admission is $25. Options are available for lunch vouchers and catering. Ginny has attended museum twice in past and was impressed with museum and interactive displays. Phil mentioned the drag races will be taking place the weekend following the conference. Stacey also reached out to Charlotte Motor Speedway for tour options.

    • Presenter Guide: Paul created informational brochure for presenters based on the one we currently use for the CIECAST webinars. Stacey will email it to all committee members for input.

    • Potential Presenters: The committee reviewed the list of potential topics and presenters.

      • OEM Roundtable: John Eck is unavailable and Ford showed interest in presenting but currently has travel restrictions. Other OEMs contacted include BMW, Tesla, Rivian and Volkswagen. Phil suggested reaching out to Chrisa Hickey from OEConnection for OEM recommendations.

      • Development of CIECA API Standards: Paulette will present, possibly along with other committee participants/chairs.

      • Hendrick Motorsports: William from Axalta will help put in a speaker request for the conference. Ginny suggested having someone from the garage talk about the “10-second repair.” Paul suggested having someone from the simulation team speak. Steve said that would be a nice tie-in with CIECA.

      • Chuck Searles from AMi agreed to speak. Chuck had a 19-year career with Nissan and can bring some of that experience into his presentation topic. CIECA staff will meet with Chuck on 4/19 to discuss potential presentation topics.

      • Susanna Gotsch, CCC; and Mike Anderson, Collision Advice, are both already committed.

      • Sean Carey, SCG Management Consultants, agreed to speak. All agreed he is an excellent presenter. Kim mentioned that any presentation focusing on emerging trends in the industry would be of interest to attendees.

      • Stephen Applebaum would be very interested in speaking during CONNEX but is not available that week. He suggested reaching out to Alan Demers, President-Founder at InsurTech Consulting, and Vincent Romans.

      • Melissa Kwiatkowski from Driven Brands offered to look into a potential speaker from a local collision repair facility.

      • Mark Helvenston, IAA, recommended Fred Karlinsky, Co-Chair Insurance Regulatory & Transactions Practice at Greenberg Traurig, as a potential speaker. Steve said Fred is a great speaker. Stacey will provide Fred an overview of the conference and discuss potential presentation topics that are of interest to all segments of the industry.

      • Brandon Laur, Claims Corp (CCI), agreed to speak about information privacy and security.

      • James Chargo, BASF, is asking his supervisor if he can speak at conference and will provide potential topics for discussion.

      • Steve reached out to Brian Sullivan at Auto Insurance Report about potential speaker recommendations but magazine’s conference is the same week as CONNEX.

      • Steve suggested having a panel discussion with participants from the Emerging Technologies Data Standards Committee. The committee has great representation from several industry segments and can be used as an example of how CIECA committees are formed and how they work together toward a common purpose. Don was supportive of the idea and Ginny said that she enjoys being part of that committee. Kelly said that this might be a great CIECAST webinar topic as well.

      • Ginny shared an ARA article written by Bryan Mendel (spelling?) from Mitchell International talking about repair vs replace. Ginny will forward the article. Topic will be reviewed to see if this is more of a CIC presentation topic unless it focuses on how parts are ordered or how it affects all segments of the industry.

      • Insurance panel discussion: Stacey reached out to Clint Marlow for a potential presenter recommendation and will email Chris Evans, State Farm; Greg Best, California Casualty; and Russ Simms, Nationwide.

  • Great meeting. Thank you everyone for your input!
