I chaired my first my first shareholder meeting yesterday

[Mikey P]

Enjoyable, received praise on a job well done, gave my "lets shit or I'm getting off the pot" speech.

Im not on board to help build a restoration institute, we either totally reinvent how we train and support us cleaners or Im out.

For too long, the "easy money" of certifying thousands of water damage restoration technicians and franchises caused the IICRC to neglect the base that was the foundation: Carpet cleaning companies.

I well remember being in a vocal minority on the subject. I appreciate that you have the patience that I lacked, and caused me to leave over 10 years ago now.

The consumer information app alone will make the Certified Firm program worth it, because from the beginning, it never was.

Thanks Mike.

Dad's proud of you.

Considering that there already is a very well respected restoration organization that has tons better training, getting back to cleaning makes sense.

Good luck Mike.

Attending Cliff Zlotnik's "University" McKees Rock, PA was a privilege. I really valued the training that I got from ASCR.
