NATIONAL DIRECTOR/PRESIDENT’S UPDATE PRESIDENT’S REPORT April – May – June – July 2016 THE PATHWAY TO CAREERS IN AUTOMOTIVE RESTORATION & PRESERVATION In 2016-to-date, the Hagerty Education Program at America’s Car Museum (HEP) has grown in significance, not in size, by impacting 650 young people around the United States – with program and scholarship funding but also through services provided and resources shared. The renaming of HEP to RPM Foundation – Restoration. Preservation. Mentorship. (RPM) in June has shown remarkable positive impact, almost immediately, with “spontaneous giving” and ongoing “giving response” to our four fundraising appeals, surpassing our individual giving goals-to-date.

Before mid-year, we had already achieved program goals we expected to realize in late Q4. The accidental opportunity to be part of a panel discussion at The Arizona Concours d’Elegance on Saturday, January 23rd accelerated the course of our strategic plan for the year. Alongside industry luminaries John Carlson, Dave Kinney and Don Williams, HEP/RPM was on the national stage with a voice about the Collector Car Industry, the future of restoration and the Next Generation.

Phoenix-Scottsdale-Mesa, AZ is an undisputed, natural “auto hot spot” and the ideal region to shape community and influence restoration education outcomes.

By late February, we were planning our first Summit Meeting with the Superintendent of Schools at East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT) in Mesa, AZ. By May, we brought together a community – made up of 60 schools, shops, collectors, museums and industry leaders – exploring the idea of adding restoration curriculum to EVIT’s Auto Tech Programs. We proved “market relevance” to the school’s administration and, with the support of a newly-formed Advisory Committee made up of 14 Summit Meeting attendees, work began by the school to hire an instructor and develop shop-focused curriculum. Plans are to offer an elective restoration class in the January – May 2017 semester. RPM’s ongoing role with EVIT will be as a member of the Advisory Committee and liaison with the local restoration shops. The benefits of creating community have already been felt by two EVIT students, who have been hired as full time employees by two local restoration shops. The shop owners participated in the Summit Meeting.

Interestingly and to date, EVIT has not received any funding from RPM Foundation. But the impact of RPM’s influence and leadership has been significant.

RPM will be repeating community-building efforts in Atlantic County, NJ in October when RPM is scheduled to present to the Atlantic County Institute of Technology’s Board of Directors and Automotive Advisory Committee.

To be sure, RPM Foundation is not just a grant-giving organization. It is much, much more. RPM is bringing together, influencing and shaping an industry – one student at a time, one school at a time and one shop at a time. That said, with the enthusiastic engagement of 10 volunteer ambassadors and one celebrity ambassador who work tirelessly on our behalf, RPM’s reach is extensive and our impact-to-date has soared well-beyond our target of reaching significantly 350-450 students each year.

We are building and cultivating relationships and making stories in the process. We are tracking “market movement” with auction sales and retail sales but also by watching the development of Classic Car Centers by European OEMs like BMW, Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini, joining Mercedes-Benz, among other things.

With four administrative volunteers, RPM researches aspects of the marketplace – schools and shops in “unnatural auto hot spots”, automobile museums/associations lifecycles, curriculum development and jobs.

RPM has enjoyed program success and the momentum generated because of that. Beginning in June, RPM’s leadership focus has been on fundraising, to support both short-term and long-term funding needs, such as an endowment. With both “ask” proposals to prospects and impact reporting for current donors, RPM’s programs drive our fundraising results. We have “program proof” and about $400,000 in “asks” and renewals at this writing. The coming months are significant for RPM! NOTE: April-May-June-July monthly highlights, including fundraising results-by-month, are included in this report. Full reports for all months-to-date are available upon request.

WHO WE ARE RPM Foundation is a service-providing, resource-sharing, grant-giving organization that accelerates the growth of the next generation of automotive Restoration and Preservation craftsmen and women though formal training and Mentorship. Founded through the vision of Hagerty in 2005, RPM Foundation is the educational arm of America’s Automotive Trust. Together, these organizations work to secure and preserve America’s automotive heritage. RPM is based in Tacoma, WA with offices in Chicago and ambassadors in 10 States and Germany.

RPM’s MISSION RPM Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that the critical skills necessary to preserve and restore collector vehicles are not lost, by providing scholarships and educational grants to students and organizations committed to hands-on training of future craftsmen. RPM works closely with educational institutions advising them on the curricula necessary for training of professional craftsmen, as well as helping them identify the proficiencies needed for success in the field. RPM facilitates student scholarships, internships and full-time apprenticeships to ensure students receive the necessary formal education, knowledge and hands-on training to enter the profession successfully.

RPM’s goals are to:

 

Preserve and promote America’s automotive treasures.

Cultivate a new generation of craftsmen skilled in the art of automotive and marine restoration and preservation.

August 2016

National Director/President’s Update

Page 26a

  

Promote the importance of the skilled trades and the many career opportunities within the industry.

Create opportunities for young people who have an interest in vehicles to learn from professional educators, Master Craftsmen and industry leaders.

Develop partnerships with a wide-spectrum of the collector hobby and industry, including shows, Concours, clubs and businesses to promote the education of necessary skills to secure America’s automotive heritage and culture.

RPM’s VISION RPM Foundation has a vision with three components: 1) YOUNG PEOPLE – That every passionate, young car enthusiast in the United States and Canada who loves everything about collector cars learns that there are viable, varied career opportunities in North America focused on the automotive Collector Car Industry – including restoration – by way of exceptional educational programs, and they are able to take advantage of those programs; 2) OLD CARS – That the craftsmanship, skills, knowledge, tools, processes and techniques survive and thrive for generations to come by filling the educational pipeline with the next generation of craftsmen and women, the stewards protecting and enjoying our automotive heritage; and 3) IMPACT – That the automotive Collector Car Industry – including schools – is organized and centralized with the help of RPM Foundation, providing information, services and a strong network critical to industry development and growth.

What follows is the complete, Board-approved 2016 HEP/RPM Strategic Plan with  tracking activity and workload.

Pennsylvania College of Technology

3. Name of Person completing evaluation Elizabeth A. Biddle 4. Project Funded

Scholarships for Automotive Restoration Technology, A.A.S. Students

5. Stated Objective of Project To assist in the recruitment and retention of automotive restoration students by providing needed support with the financial challenge of paying for a college education, which would allow them to learn the techniques and workmanship sought after by restoration shops, collectors, and museums.

6. Describe the overall impact of the funded project/program on your organization’s mission and for the long term interest of the collector car and/or boat community.

Pennsylvania College of Technology is a public institution providing comprehensive, hands-on technical education at the baccalaureate and associate degree levels. Every member of our College community endeavors to create and sustain excellence in a student-centered environment that promotes personal growth, social awareness, a shared commitment to diversity, and lifelong learning, all of which help prepare our graduates for success.

The cost of technology and education continues to rise, making it a financial challenge for students to complete a college degree. Much effort is put forth to develop scholarships to support students’ pursuit of Automotive Restoration Technology, of which Hagerty Education Program plays a key role.

For the 2015-16 academic year, 6 students received scholarship support. Students received at least $2,500 in scholarship funds. One of these students was in a financial position (due to unforeseen circumstances) that his ability to return for his second year of the program was largely contingent upon receiving scholarship funds. He received $5,000 in HEP scholarship funds and returned to complete his degree.

Scholarship Recipients Jay Rhoads Jr., of South Williamsport received HEP scholarship funds for the fall 2015 semester. He was the student speaker for the December 2015 graduation when he received an Associate of Applied Science degree in automotive restoration technology. Rhoads, a Dean's List student, was also presented with the President's Award for leadership and service to the college. He was a member of the Penn College Classic Cruisers student organization and was instrumental in the completion of various vehicle-restoration projects for the college that have been honored in prestigious car shows. He serves in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard and is using his Automotive Restoration skills for a local shop whose owner is a member of the Susquehannock AACA. Other scholarship recipients are also working in the field and/or continuing their education. Austin Cairns is working at a local restoration shop in Titusville, PA. This shop specializes in international truck restoration. He will be continuing his education in Collision Repair Technology as well – thanks to the scholarship funds he received this past year.

Jordan Hebert spent some of his restoration academic year on the 1955 Nash Replica for the Swigart Museum and is working at a restoration shop in his hometown. He is also returning to continue his education in Heavy Equipment Technology. His career aspirations are to restore Heavy Equipment.

Troy Stair is currently working in the field and was considering returning to further his education in welding to augment his restoration skills. He is looking to develop a business that will allow him to restore and sell cars.

Two other scholarship recipients (Brady Stevenson and Russell) worked hard during the academic year at restoring and/or constructing a miniature Jeep body that will be debuted at the Hershey Fall Meet, and fabricating parts for the 20/25 Rolls Royce Saloon for the Rolls Royce Museum.

Hagerty Education Program at America’s Car Museum Board Partnership The Board members of the Hagerty Education Program visited Pennsylvania College of Technology as a result of this grant opportunity. It was a tremendous day to talk about how to maximize the partnership and the dollars provided by Hagerty Education Program. The faculty, staff, and students always appreciate the opportunity to showcase the labs and their hard work to antique automobile enthusiasts. Pictures are included at the conclusion of this report.

A press released was distributed to over 30 media outlets in northeastern and central Pennsylvania, as well as the College’s newswire, PCToday: https://pctoday.pct.edu/benevolence-meets-gratitudein-automotive-restoration-lab/.

2016 AUGUST GRANT APPLICATION SUMMARIES I.

AUTOMOTIVE RESTORATION APPLICANTS – PREVIOUS A. 1)

Secondary COASTLINE REGIONAL OCCUPANTION PROGRAM, Costa Mesa, CA (pgs 74-90 ) About Them: Coastline ROP is a career and technical education (CTE) provider that prepares high school students for a wide range of careers and further educational opportunities. They are a California state-funded public education program. One of the schools they support is Laguna Hills High School and Patrick Sullivan’s automotive technology program.

Amount Requesting: $7,000 Requested Grant Money Used For: To restore 3-4 1966-1971 Honda motorcycles.

Request Summary: The funds will be used to restore 3-4 Honda motorcycles, 160cc and 175cc. The name of this project is “Restoration Motorcycles: The History of the Motorcycle”. Once the projects are completed they will be showcased in the community. The grant will benefit approximately 140 students, ages 15-18, of which 18% are females. This program will not only teach hands-on skills but the curriculum includes a strong safety component.

Goals: To give students the historical knowledge and appreciation plus hands-on experience of restoring motorcycles. By working on the simpler engines of motorcycles, students will quickly gain a strong foundation about how engines work. Also, a project of this size is normally completed in one school year, giving the students the benefit of working on the project from start to finish. This is a heavy hands-on curriculum.

Special Notes: Coastline ROP was awarded $5,000 in October 2015 by HEP, but the funds were never disbursed to the school as the instructor, Tim Chambers, left the program shortly after the Board vote. The school has hired Patrick Sullivan to fill this vacant position. Mr. Sullivan has over seven years of experience in the automotive industry, as well as several years of teaching experience.

He is a WyoTech alumnus. Since assuming this position, Mr. Sullivan has had a tremendous impact on the program that Tim Chambers’ created.

Previous Grants Received: i. Years: 2012, 2014-2015 ii. Total Grants Awarded: $10,000 iii. Purpose: To restore a 1966 Ford F10 pick-up which was completed in 2015. The project was titled “Restoration 66: Connecting Students with Cars, History, Family & Community”. The truck is being used at car events, competitions, and local community activities to promote the program.

2) NORTH CENTRAL CAREER CENTER (NCCC), Bethany, MO (90 miles north of Kansas City) (pgs 91-103) About Them: NCCC is a career development center that serves 14 different high schools in the area. They have an Automotive Collision Program that has restored 3 vintage vehicles – 1967 Mustang, 1970 Chevelle, and 1969 Camaro. Since the program has restored these cars, there has been a growing interest in the program from both students and adults in the community. They also offer an Automotive Technology Program.

Amount Requesting: $5,000 Requested Grant Money Used For: To rebuild and restore a 1965 Ford Truck from the “ground up”.

Request Summary: The Automotive Collision Program would like to collaborate with the Automotive Technology Program to fully restore and rebuild a 1965 Ford. The students of both programs would be involved in all aspects of the project to produce a high quality vehicle that NCCC could proudly display at events – to use to recruit new students. By taking an older vehicle that is not in working condition and making it basically brand new again, students feel a sense of accomplishment, all while learning invaluable hands-on skills that they can use to pursue a career in the automotive industry.

Goals: To fully restore and rebuild a 1965 Ford Truck, through the collaboration of both the Automotive Collision Program and the Automotive Technology Program and continue building their program using vintage vehicles.

Special Notes: The Automotive Collision program has an 85% placement rate for students going into the Automotive Collision Repair field.

1) OLD PUEBLO TROLLEY INC. (OPT), Tucson, AZ (pgs 104-123) About Them: Electric streetcars, or trolleys, began operating in Tucson in 1906. For the next 24 years, they transported Tusconans through bustling shopping and residential areas.

By 1930, urban growth had expanded beyond the University of Arizona and ability of the streetcars to provide adequate service to these new areas decreased, and at midnight on December 31, 1930, rail streetcar operation in Tucson permanently ended. Founded in 1983 as part of the 1985 University of Arizona Centennial celebration, Old Pueblo Trolley Inc. was established to bring the historic trolleys from the 1930s back to life. Over the years, OPT has started collecting, restoring, and maintaining historic streetcars and buses.

Amount Requesting: $20,000 Requested Grant Money Used For: To expand their student training program that began in September 2012.

Request Summary: They are currently offering a summer pilot program with eight students working as paid interns that are either enrolled in or recently graduated from high school automotive programs. They plan to expand the project to three 10-week segments: fall and spring semesters, plus a summer segment. Each segment has ten students working 150 hours each. Their target audience for this program is students that are currently enrolled in automotive technology programs in their high schools.

Goals: To give students the opportunities and skills to improve their employability while contributing to the restoration and preservation of Tucson’s transportation. This is a unique, hands-on opportunity for these students to learn the “dying trades”.

Special Notes: They recently purchased a 30,000 square foot industrial building with the goal of setting up a transportation museum, whose main focus will be a restoration shop and school.

Previous Grants Received: i. Years: 2012, 2014 ii. Total Grants Awarded: $8,120 iii. Purpose: To start their student training program that began in 2012 Funding Fit: 5

2) SARATOGA AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM, Saratoga Springs, NY (pgs 124-140) About Them: The Saratoga Automobile Museum, or SAM, was organized in 1999 and opened to the public in 2002. The Museum’s mission is to preserve, interpret, and exhibit automobiles and automotive artifacts. The Museum’s facility is the fully-restored and renovated Saratoga Bottling Plant, a beautiful neo-classic building built in 1934.

Amount Requesting: $15,000 Requested Grant Money Used For: To purchase parts and equipment for their “Rebuilding A Racer” Program at the Museum.

Request Summary: The program would offer 15 youth, ages 12-18, the opportunity to restore a 1956 New York-made Model 61 Offyette ¼ midget race car. This program will consist of both hands-on S.T.E.M. instructional education, as well as classroom and lecture activities that will incorporate art, history, and geography. The fully restored Offyette will become part of their “Racing in New York” exhibit which currently does not include anything that focuses on the role of youth racing in New York State or the cars that put the youth on the track. This project will ensure that this important component of New York State and racing history is preserved, while providing a one-of-a-kind learning experience for the youth in their community.

Goals: To fully restore the 1956 New York made Model 61 Offette ¼ midget race car and add it to their “Racing in New York” exhibit.

Special Notes: The race car was donated to the museum by Kevin Biebel, chairman for the Board of Trustees. Saratoga Springs is a big racing town, both cars and horses.

1) GREAT LAKES BOAT BUILDING SCHOOL (GLBBS), Cedarville, MI (pgs 141-149) About Them: Since opening in 2006, GLBBS has been providing a diverse student base with full-time vocational courses in the art and craft of traditional and contemporary wooden boat building. Their one-year certificate and two-year diploma programs provide students with the skills and knowledge to pursue gratifying careers in the boat building industry, with a particular emphasis on traditional hand skills used in the building and restoration of wooden boats.

Amount Requesting: $15,000 Requested Grant Money Used For: To provide two 1st-Year students with scholarships of $2,500 each, and two 2nd-Year students with scholarships of $5,000 each.

Request Summary: GLBBS has found that their greatest obstacle for recruiting 2nd-Year students is the high cost of education. Their most promising students need financial assistance to stay for a second year, versus joining the workforce after completing their first year.

Goals: To award qualified, 2nd-Year students with financial aid to ease the stress of funding their tuition. Students that graduate from the 2nd-Year program command a higher starting wage and experience pay raises more quickly.

Special Notes: They have begun the process to secure initial accreditation from the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges. This is a lengthy process to demonstrate that they meet (or exceed) high educational standards and ethical business processes. The expense associated with this process has impacted their 2016-2017 operating budget.
