  PITTSFORD, NY, Jun 06 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 John Edelen, interim CEO and board chairman of I-CAR, an inter-industry
training
organization for the auto collision industry, discusses I-CAR's initiatives for
the
future in the newest podcast from Scene Genesis.

    I-CAR provides training programs to collision repair facilities, insurers,
manufacturers, and others.

    "Having the knowledge to repair today's high-tech cars takes cooperation
among
manufacturers, collision-repair shops, insurers, tool suppliers and others,
and I-CAR fosters that cooperation to provide training to the
inter-industry," Edelen says. "Delivering this training is supported by a
network of extraordinarily driven group of volunteers and part-time
programinstructors. Their dedication and hard work is the heritage and strength
of I-CAR."

    The podcast can be heard on www.sceneexchange.com.

    This is the latest of "Topics in Ten," a monthly podcast that brings
opinions
and ideas to the collision repair industry.
