Well I think we all made it back safe and sound from the Big Easy. Hats off to everyone for making this a very successful get together. The UAMCC discussed much with the attendees and I think we all walked away from the discussions with a sense that the UAMCC has plotted it's course in the right direction. I must admit that I was very encouraged with the participation and willingness from the contractors to assist the UAMCC with our overall strategy and direction.
A personal thanks to Gene from Lightining Clean and Joe from Mid City Power Wash. These two individuals financially contributed to the UAMCC endeavor during the discussion and for that WE thank you.
As the UAMCC continues it's Round Table tour it is our hope that contractors in other regions see the benefit of the UAMCC like those that attended New Orleans.
Once last thank you - Thad and Judy worked so very hard in making this happen. They both did a fabulous job.
