“For the past 25 years, CIECA has served the collision repair ecosystem by creating electronic communication standards that allow the industry to be more efficient,” said Kim DeVallance Caron, CIECA’s 2020 chairwoman and director of product discovery for Enterprise Holdings. “With cars becoming increasingly complex, the industry is embarking on new ways to handle claims. As a result, data will need to be communicated and CIECA will help meet this need.”

She said it’s important that all segments of the industry continue to work together to adapt to the new technology being introduced and encourages members of the industry to learn more about the organization, join a CIECA committee, and help shape the future.
