Would you like to see Ron start an Org

JL Pressure Washing
I have talked to Ron about starting an Org in the past and recently. I'm sure others have too.

The 2 Orgs we have now for better or worse arent really effective or represent many of us how we would like them to

Ron has shown an interest in it. I personally think if any one can do it Ron can. He has always shown to help contractors, from PWI to NCE, he has been willing to jump in on any contractor issue and usually has a great prespective and outcome when he does get involved. I know he has the smarts.

Things arent going great with the two orgs we have, some just dont have the time and money and other I just don't know

Would anyone out here like to see Ron start a national org for pressure washing contractors. One that would promote our industry in a positive manner, one that could help its members and industry if rules and regs get out of hand like in Houston, just a positive Org that will help us and our industry

I have talked to Ron, he has brought it up over the years and I know he's thinking about it now. Ron knows he couldnt do it all, he knows he would have to hire an ED or persons to help. He knows the outline to make it a success


Who would like to see Ron start and org and make it great. What do you all think. I belong to many successful orgs and I know they serve a great purpose for my biz. I know a good for profit PWing Org would be good for my business too. PWI, NCE all great, lets get the total package now and be right up their with many other successful contractor Orgs:thumbup2:
 
I believe that if an org is to work, be successful, truly help the contractors then Ron should start the Org.

Ron has done so much to help so many of us throughout the years, especially the guys in Houston recently like no other org can, would or did.

I think that he would make an org that would not only be there for the contractors but actually get known by people outside the industry so when you mention the org, people out there would actually know what you are talking about (something that the current so-called orgs can dream about as they do nothing to make themselves known).

I would be willing to help out as much as I could in this org if Ron started it.
 
Yup Ron should definitely branch out now and start his own org. I belong to a few different orgs and they work well in my business structure and I would support Ron fully to start another one if he thinks he can do it better. If he can.... We gain. If not my business will keep on trucking along.....But I think Ron can do it.... He has said it for years..
 
Ron might be done washing in 2 years, but he'll NEVER be "Out"!

Ron would be absolutely perfect, as the Gift of Gab...

I didnt mean he would be "Out", I just dont think he would have any interest in starting an org.
 
Ron has shown time and time again what he can do once he sinks his teeth into something, PWI & NCE are prime examples. Anyone, and I mean anyone that underestimates what this Man can do is a fool. His influence is far and wide, and he knows how to use it.

I think Ron will do this, and it will be his crowning achievement to the Industry. It will be a "Major Force" and the true "Voice Of The Industry".
 
Ron knows what needs to be done to improve this industry and I think he would be a great choice. With his positive energy and putting the right people in place this org would be able to move mountains.
 
A whole Three people like it....LOL

Yawn....Been there....done that....bought the tee shirt

My last suggestion was that he help set it up...promote it and run it and then step back and retire. He's said many times that he intends to get out of the pressure washing anyway (and I assume focus on NCE). It would be a perfect fit assuming there was a firewall of sorts between the Org and NCE. I'm also very leery of any Org that is not "non profit".

I'm not suggesting anyone specific is or was dishonest, just that the road to hell is always paved with good intentions.....the top 3 screwings I got in my life come at the hands of supposedly honest Christians.
 
I merged the two threads. Being the ruler of all, I can do that...

As for the ORG. I don't want Ron to start an ORG. If he does, I am certain that he will harass me (In a nice way...) and harangue me (in a nice way...) to help him until I give in. Since my plan only includes about 6 more years, I have other things I want to focus on.

Do you know how fast I run from someone that tries to trade on their religion, I don't care which religion it is? As fast as my fat little feet can carry me.
 
Why do we want to start a new org every other year? Let's take hold of one of the two we have and try to make it the most democratic org available. Because in a few more years there will be people that dont like the way that org is going and want to start another. This is why small undemocratic nations have coups all the time. If we restructure one that we have like the U.S. it will work because when you give everyone power no one person has it all. Have everyone on the board, let votes be easy and hassle free, where every one has a vote.

I am not trying to down talk Ron, I believe he is great, and has helped us and a lot of people on the board.

The problem is they need money to run and keep going, 10's of thousands of dollars or a couple hundred thousand possibly to hit the road running

The reason I say Ron first of all I think he's very capable when he puts his mind to it, plus he has the guts to work through the BS and keep moving forward. The other two orgs, you think something good is going to happen then bang something always comes up to make contractors run away from them. I've talked to Ron on this, he knows much of what it takes.

Take back the Orgs, One I dont think they will release the other you can't get participation

I know an Org is needed I have several reason I say that and it would be good for our industry and could be built and off and running in 2-4 years if done right
