Last week the Corvette world got a little glimpse of the new GM Corvette Plant Manager, Jeff Lamarche during a Museum press conference. Here's a little more about Jeff!

Lamarche started his career with General Motors in 1981, as a Co-Op student at the Van Nuys assembly plant.  He progressed through multiple assignments of increasing responsibility in Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain and Production operations and has worked at various manufacturing locations including Van Nuys, Marion, GM Mexico, Linden, Fairfax, Global Quality Staff, San Luis Potosi and Brownstown.  Lamarche earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering from Kettering University and MBA from Loyola Marymount University.  He has led GM’s Brownstown, MI Battery Assembly Plant since 2012.

Welcome, Jeff! We look forward to hosting you at our Bash event in April!

In an effort to further driver's educational programming at the National Corvette Museum, State Farm has awarded the Museum with a 2014 Grant. The Museum plans to utilize the $14,000 grant to help furnish classrooms, purchase necessary technology and provide a golf cart for teen driving courses and other driver's education classes to be held at the new NCM Motorsports Park.

State Farm provides grants in three areas: safety, community development and education. The National Corvette Museum provides numerous courses that contribute to teen driver education, auto and roadway safety, which are all values that State Farm grants are designed for.

“State Farm knows that vehicle crashes are a leading cause of injury and death for young people,” said Patrick Warren, Vice President of Agency/Sales for State Farm. “That’s why we promote programs like Celebrate My Drive. We are committed to keeping young drivers safe and are pleased to support the efforts of the National Corvette Museum.”
