Electric Vehicle Bat- tery Database: Featuring an analysis of over 1,650 models from 65 vehicle manufacturers, ARA is pro- viding this database to assist automotive recyclers with identifying and removing batteries from all vehicles.


ARA UNIVERSITY BOOSTS NEW VIDEOS Available are 18 new Tech Talk videos as well as five full 50-minute educational sessions are available on the ARA University in the Resource Library, including pre- recorded content from associate members. EDGE 2020 inspired a series of new video resources that include multi-part virtual facility tours of B&R Auto Wrecking in Corvallis, Oregon, Wilbert’s U Pull It in Williamson, New York, and Nordstrom’s Automotive in Garretson, South Dakota.


NAVIGATING COVID-19 ARA was able to get automotive recycling as an essential business included in that category to remain open while other businesses were forced to close. ARA developed a number of vital industry pandemic-related


resources that resided on a COVID-19 Dashboard on the ARA website. It was updated daily with current informa- tion, and sent in a daily email to all members. ARA’s COVID-19 Relief Fund provided $65,000 to businesses needing assistance during COVID, and to affil- iate chapters to offset losses from canceled shows. ARA produced a number of PPP and COVID-19-re-


lated webinars on following federal rules and other topics. ARA secured ongoing sessions with Jason Redman, who was the “ARA 2020 Industry Coach.” Jessica Andrews is ARA’s Senior Director of Association Operations and Director of State Government Affairs.
