I am a charter member. I have gained a lot of knowledge through my association with the orginization and through attending their seminars. I have met many fine people and made some lifelong friends. Things haven't always been rosy but "anything worth having is worth working for".

I went to the last conventin in Nashville, Tn. I attended the roof cleaning certification. It was a WASTE of money....and I have yet to receive my "certificatoin" ifyou want to call it that. I have been roof cleaning for 4 years but I believe this was not indicative of a "Certification" no matter what you esperience level. The class lasted, what an hour and a half at most? And there was no outdoor hands on time. The instructor (which I have nothing against) only discussed one method of roof cleaning, which is not even the recent most popular method. Yes, we learned a few safety knots but you could and should spend and hour and a half on safety alone.
Personally I took the class mostly for advertising purposes saying I'm "Certified" so I'm not too woried about the money but............This was a complete waste of money for any newbies to the business. When you're new to the industry you typically don't have alot of extra money to throw around so you try to choose you're expenses wisely. I think they should get their money back so they can put it towards something truly educational.
One definition of "Certification"
One of the most common types of certification in modern society is professional certification, where a person is certified as being able to competently complete a job or task, usually by the passing of an examination.

That's too bad to hear, I asked them to step it up.
Here's what you'll get as excuses is that we are all volunteers. No one has the time, this is ridiculous when you think about it. It's like saying we don't have enough concerns for what we all feed our family's with.
Let's not bash the Pwna but offer some positive advice. Maybe through enough members telling them it will finally sink in.
