Twenty-Nine to Compete for "World's Best Auto Glass Technician"

With registration closed and the final numbers tallied, 29 competitors will vie for the title of "World's Best Auto Glass Technician" at the Auto Glass Technician Olympics in Las Vegas in November.

Last year's winner, Jeff Olive of Glasspro, will return as an alternate judge for the competition, but second place finisher Lynn Lovetinsky from Cedar Rapids, Iowa is returning as a competitor, aiming to take the title. He'll have plenty of competition, including the first woman to go for gold in the event-Mary Morrissette.

The Auto Glass Technician Olympics, now in its second year, is co-sponsored by the Independent Glass Association (IGA) and AGRR magazine. The event follows on the heels of the second annual Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standard (AGRSS) Conference and both events, along with the National Windshield Repair Association Conference and the Windshield Repair Olympics are co-located this year with the Auto Glass Expo @ NACE.

The events will be held November 1-4, 2006 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.
