The Society of Collision Repair Specialists is holding an open board meeting from 3-5 p.m. today ahead of the Collision Industry Conference Wednesday and Thursday, and you can follow Repairer Driven News here and on Twitter for live updates.

One of the meeting highlights will be a nearly 50-slide presentation into how to handle a BMW 3-Series quarter panel replacement as well as updates on what the organization and local auto body affiliates are doing for the industry.

The Education Committee will analyze every step of BMW’s recommended procedures — which involve adhesive and rivets — for replacing the part on vehicles.

SCRS will also discuss its initiatives and general industry issues, and Georgia Collision Industry Association Executive Director Howard Batchelor will describe what is happening at the regional level.

Following the meeting: An election at 5:15 p.m. to fill four SCRS board seats. Voting is open to current SCRS members and corporate/affiliate representatives. Six candidates are running, and the top four vote recipients will win. Learn more about the candidates and rules here.

We’ll be there tweeting updates from both from @repairerdriven. Join the conversation with #CICAtlanta or check out the feed below (Works best on desktops).
