This is the President's Corner comments that will come out in our December newsletter. If you subscribe, you should know that I just send out a few newsletters per year and I try to keep them relevant and informative.
"This is a great industry. It is very American in that it is open to all in a number of different areas. Manufacturers, chemists, contractors, suppliers, and distributors always welcome new blood and new ideas to the table.
This is a generous industry. From Clean Across America to packages for troops overseas to volunteering to help in natural disasters, members of this industry are always there carrying a portion of the load.
This is a small industry. When we gain a member we celebrate it. When we lose a member, we pause to remember. With today’s connectivity, we communicate with each other coast to coast and internationally every day.
This is a necessary industry. Without our diligence and efforts, the world would be a less happy place.
This is a sharing industry. PWI and others, round tables, organizations, newsletters, barbecues, conventions, seminars, classes – all part of keeping information flowing to those who need it.
This is an inventive industry. Bandits and Roofsters and Soft Wash and Decksters and vacuums and wood sealers and environmental devices and so many other wonderful tools all born from the most creative minds in this industry.
This New Year, take a moment to enjoy and celebrate being a part of something this important – our industry.
Merry Christmas, and a very prosperous 2013 to everyone!
