COLLISION CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
We Need Your Help! by DENNIS CATALDO, JR. AASP/NJ is looking for new opportunities to impact our industry. I have been tasked with creating an ongoing dialogue with the New Jersey Legislature to relay the issues we are currently facing pertaining to the proper repair of vehicles. If you’ve been reading New Jersey Automotive and other publications lately, you’ve seen that there has been a lot of activity around the country in regard to changing the laws and regulations involving auto repair. This state should be no different. As one of the most densely populated states in the nation, we should be on the forefront of creating change when it comes to the safety of the motoring public. For the past year, I have been trying to create ongoing conversations with members of our government. Talks started, but COVID-19 got in the way and postponed or ended some of these before they could get off the ground. I am asking our membership to help

in this task. I need more than one person trying to start conversations about this; I need our entire membership to start them as well. I would like to know who in our membership has contacts, friends or possibly family within government, specifically the Legislature. We need to change the current direction of our industry, and we need your help in doing so. NJA
