randy said:If the IICRC was smart they would extend a period of time where any tech that allowed their creds to expire could renew without having to retake the classes etc. Realize as a board that people had very good reason to turn their backs on the IICRC and welcome them back into the fold without penalty. I would send letters out to everyone with lapsed creds offering that.

LisaWagnerCRS said:Since many let their Master Cleaner status lapse due to the old King and Queen passing making Color Repair an additional requirement to keep the status (even though people had already earned and paid for it...) then I think something should be done to acknowledge this protest... because Lord knows, Color Repair is NOT needed to be a Master Cleaner, the motivation was to sell more classes for certain people, and not because of any dire need by consumers to have MC's with color experience.
So, if they are retroactively requiring MC's to take another class, then IICRC should take some of that large (and largely wasted) marketing budget and give vouchers to every MC to pay for the course. Having more active MC's is better marketing than anything else.
I also think they should create a "amnesty" on all the past dues for these dropped off MC's in particular, because this change was colored with political bias.
Or... the current board could simply undo that requirement, or provide a substitute that would be easier to find and take, because very few teach that damn class...
So Dan M. and Tony - think any of those ideas are possible? :mrgreen:

are we allowed to vote for ....oursefs? 8)harryhides said:I agree with Dan's comment above and so for those of you that would like to see some fresh faces on the Board, you can now for the first time in the history of the iicrc, participate in the process of determining the make up of the Board. The deadline for Nominations is this Friday and all you have to do is to go here -
http://www.iicrc.org/iicrc-nomination-recommendation.shtml
Fill out the info of ANY person that you feel would represent your views and submit your Nomination. You may Nominate as many people as you wish but they do need to be people that are willing to be on the Board if elected.
Is this a new one?? Seems I've heard a lot about directors not having this "duty".Duty of Loyalty
The duty of loyalty is a standard of faithfulness; a board member must give undivided allegiance when making decisions affecting the organization. This means that a board member can never use information obtained as a member for personal gain, but must act in the best interests of the organization.
Interesting way to word it.
well we MUST hold serve!!!harryhides said:Bawb, Yes, although it is a tad tacky.
