In a little over a month the revival of the UAMCC from the ashes will reach the two year mark.
Two years ago the UAMCC was down to a handful of members.
Now the membership numbers are in line with all the other PW orgs, one of which is over 20 years old.
Two years ago even the leadership was quitting and there was no clear direction. Talk of merging the handful of members who were left with the other org was even brought up.
Since that time the UAMCC has grown tremendously. As you guys know, I've never been a "benefits" type of guy. But I have to say, I've gotten my membership dues back every year just from benefits offered by UAMCC associates. If they are there, I'm going to use them.
The UAMCC has a a certification program that the members can use for marketing AND as an incentive for advanced learning and continual improvement.
UAMCC members have traveled all over the country speaking at events and networking to share years of accumulated knowledge with new contractors and experienced alike.
The UAMCC has dozens of state volunteers helping local contractors understand and work within the environmental laws of their local area.
Meanwhile Ron has represented the members in his own unique and high energy way in an effort to bring awareness for the need of frequent cleaning and to educate our customers AND AHJ's in our methods of operation and our benefit to society as a whole.
There have been zero issues with integrity on the part of the board members or chairs of committees.
There have been zero issues with the handling of UAMCC funds.
There have been no instances of behind the scenes activities designed to benefit the leadership at the expense of the membership.
There have been no instances of the leadership embarrassing members or the industry as a whole in their dealings with officials.
There have been no instances of secret dealings with officials or misrepresentation or deception.
Two years later all the naysayers have been proven wrong in their predictions.
How many years of spotless records need to go by before the naysayers simply accept the fact that the UAMCC is here to stay, its leadership is top notch and filled with integrity and the UAMCC's goal of representing contractors in the best light is a noble and obtainable goal?
Let's hope two years is enough.
Please join us as we present the powerwashing community as the respected and necessary industry we are a part of.
I am proud to be a UAMCC member and honored to have so many great contractors by my side.
