Shall we make M11F the Official Show of the IICRC?


Cooper wont play ball, ICE blows and you guys have much better things to do with your new salaries than organize nerdy events.

They should buy a banner.

Can we Trust that bunch?

[Jim Pemberton]

Yes you can trust them Chris, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

 

[GeeeAus]

Yes you can trust them Chris, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

You are without doubt among the wisest among us. So I will ask you a very simple, not at all flippant question...

Why.... should we trust them.....?

W I I F M

Whats In It For Me?

 

[Jim Pemberton]

I'll allow Tony or Brian to answer your question Grant. My relationship with the IICRC changed a few years back and I don't have the specifics that they do.

My endorsement was of the men involved. Their integrity is beyond question to me.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Grant you trust them because these are good men without a self serving agenda.

What's in it for you?
Representation, a voice as a united group.

I get to work with Bryan on a committee. Confidentiality prevents me from telling details. Bryan does not speak up as much as I do, but I have learned to listen to what he says. He thinks something over and his comments get right to the heart of things. I would support any cleaning related project that Bryan was behind.

 

[ruff]

Congratulation to Bryan.
A great choice for the IICRC.

Grant, Chris, etc. actions speak better than words. Just look at how many people Bryan has helped on this board alone. He gives his time and valuable advise with grace and generosity.

I would trade them a banner actually.

 

[The Great Oz]

Thanks for the kind words guys.

The Board of Directors of the IICRCA is a pretty impressive group so if anything worthwhile gets done I'll have played a minor role.

I didn't campaign for the position, it was unexpected, and I voted for someone else. After the election I spent the rest of the day trying to figure a way out, but finally decided that if the Board does the real work and all I have to do is look pretty, it might work out OK.

LOL

"look pretty".....that might be harder for you than real work.

In the past the IICRC has not embraced the forums as they are competion for their classes.

Should we expect to see a change in that mind set?

Of course.

Grant, you have asked to unrelated questions.
Trust is earned and usually as a result of personal knowledge of an individual's actions rather than their words.

To paraphrase a famous American -
"My fellow Carpet cleaners, ask not what your industry can do for you, ask what you can do for your industry."

If everyone's sole motivation is WIIFM then you'll likely get something like the Cubans got in 1959.
The only reason why this Forum works is that there are givers AND takers....... get my drift ?

Your basic premise is incorrect - nothing to do with competition for classes.
Will that mind set change - probably.

Grant, you have asked to (two) unrelated questions.

Even Premium pigs produce typos - umm his name is Bryan not Brian and it's all that pulled pork that I enjoyed today in Louisville what made drowsy.

 

[bob vawter]

well Tony i'm glad that talk we had in Nashville has finally
come to fruition......if i can be of further hep.......jus let me know!

 

[GeeeAus]

That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

Many thanks to you.

If there was a Thanks +1000 button, I'd push it.

The Great Satan spelled it "Brian". I should have known it was wrong, but I did a Nava search first.

Excuse me Toni, I cut and pasted your exact words from the mod room..

You heard if here first -
The IICRC Council of Associations elected their officers today -

Chair: Brian O’Haleck - MB's The Great Oz,
Vice Chair: Tony Wheelwright
Vice President: Sunny Bass
Secretary: Jim Pearson
Treasurer: Bruce Vance

 

[Desk Jockey]

"Toni" LOL

 

[ruff]

So glad to see that Toni didn't, as of yet, lose his spunk.

Toni, was that quote from John F. before or after he shagged Marilyn?

 

[The Great Oz]

What's in it for me is the question I'd expect any prospective member to ask.

No matter how flowery the mission statement, all trade associations exist to help their members better compete in the marketplace. What's good for the membership might help the overall industry as well, but the focus has to be on benefits for those who join. The IICRCA is a little different in being both an association for individual firms and an association of associations, but the same rules apply to the associations.


So what' in it for me? I can't help steer if I'm not on the boat. I'll feel some satisfaction if the IICRCA earns a reputation as a "good guys" club, as an organization that produces industry leaders, as a melting pot for people and organizations to come together and do great things they couldn't do on their own. Working with creative people rubs off, so I'll be better for being part of this group.

 

[Mikey P]

So what thoughts have you had as to how you can use this brain trust here to better or industry?

OK Mickey, I'm busted........... it was a long day.
Bryan is right of course, a lot of good can come from many individuals working together in a common cause for the benefit of all the Bawb's out there.

 

[hogjowl]

Thank you, Beelzebub.

 

[SamIam]

So lets say some of us were certified and let our membership cancel or not renew! Do we have to get recertified? Sit in a class? or can we we just retest. Or just pay some dues and be like an honorary old dude who kicks arse?????

Seems like if your certified once the paying dues and being a member should be reinstated with out the course being retaken!
