 2008 Sponsor Information
Making A Difference Within Our Industry
The Auto Glass Technician Competition™ (the Olympics) was originally created to provide an educational venue for technicians. The goals of the event are to increase the level of professionalism in the industry, to upgrade the skills of those competing as well as viewing and to help publicize the AGRSS Standard.
Each year the event has fine-tuned the approach and learning experience for all who are involved. For its fourth year in a row, this event will take the best technicians from local and international feeder competitions and place them in a competition where everyone learns, benefits and safety prevails.
Why Your Sponsorship Is Important!
Past competitors and sponsoring companies referenced this event as “one of the best experiences {I’ve} had in the auto glass industry” and the whole experience, “a personal jackpot of our lifetime.” As a supplier or user of products and services to the auto glass replacement industry there is no better opportunity than this to have your company name in the hands of the captive audience that surrounds this two-day competition. We have a sponsorship for a variety of marketing goals and budget lines and we’re happy to discuss other ideas as well. Contact Holly Biller at 540/720-5584 ext. 123 or at hbiller@glass.com and get the most from your advertising dollars.
