I-CAR ANNOUNCES 30TH ANNIVERSARY INDUSTRY EVENT TO TAKE PLACE IN WASHINGTON, DC, FOR JULY, 2009; ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING TO TAKE PLACE IN HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL OFFICE, FEBRUARY, 2009

HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL – November 19, 2008 – Given current market realities, I-CAR has revised its plans for 2009, and has announced that it will celebrate its 30th anniversary at its industry event, July 28 through August 1, 2009, at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C.

“We had planned initially to coordinate the 30th anniversary celebration with Board and Membership activities in early February, and to hold that meeting at the Omni in DC, as well,” said I-CAR President and CEO John Edelen. “However, we believe that this revised schedule is better for the meeting attendees and the many corporate and individual sponsors who make the I-CAR events possible.”

“In these times, when we are all sorting out the impact of the latest developments in the economy on our businesses and on our families, it is unrealistic to expect that customers, sponsors, employees, volunteers, instructors, can support the expense associated with two major events,” said Edelen.

The I-CAR International Board of Directors and I-CAR members will be gathering in February at the I-CAR Training Support Center in Hoffman Estates, IL for their Annual Meeting.

Robby Robbs, I-CAR International’s Board Chairman offered, “This is the responsible thing to do for the industry. The Board and our Membership will tend to governance responsibilities in February. Come July, we will take the opportunity to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the inter-industry founding of I-CAR. We will share this celebration with the inter-industry and seize the opportunity to recognize the contributions of our supporters, customers, sponsors, volunteers, and employees over the past thirty years.”

“Thirty years of servicing the inter-industry is a significant accomplishment and we look forward to this momentous occasion by celebrating this milestone with our many industry supporters,” noted Mr. Robbs.

Mark your calendars now! Additional details on the I-CAR 30th Anniversary Industry Event will be forthcoming.
