Your numbers are grossly inaccurate. I am surprised PWNA has lasted as long as it has without your leadership. I can see I am wasting my time. I am amazed how a group of volunteers are demonized for donating their time and resources for free to make other business people better...

3. Why does PWNA not have a lobbying effort in place ? I had to chuckle when I read the above. We have been lobbying. It has been posted in this thread.

*** I have edited this post somewhat for this BBS. The thought and concepts are the same. As far as liking or disliking this board because of its posts. To be honest I am annoyed with some post but that is people and their opinion. I have no control over others and should not expect to like...

strict PWNA has created stricter guidelines for the kitchen exhaust cleaner. The Certified KEC must have proof of insurance, business license, and verifiable OJT before a true certificate will be issued. As far as requiring PW companies to be insured, licensed, etc. The Executive board has...

PWNA has about 15 companies that sell wares. We have done a poor job in the past in supporting our venders and have been working to improve the experience for the supplier. Just as we have all read the post talking about how the venders control the organization; this could not be further...

Mike, Thank you for your post. You have hit the nail on the head. Your post is what PWNA was intended for contrary to what some people may believe. I have been very concerned with how little many PW contracts care or do not care about the EPA controls that are about to be set into...

The EPA is already doing their own thing whether we participate or not. Our goal is to make sure they do not over regulate our industry to the point we cannot make a living. The key word is "reasonable" regulation. If the PW industry chooses to stay silent the governmental agencies will...

Larry, You and I are on the same page. I believe the industries voice should be grouped rather then having the voice of a few corporations. PWNA is not looking to support the thoughts and ideas of a few companies we are looking to be a part of what the PW industry needs. It goes back to...

I am not completely sure the budget cut will hurt us, in fact (merely speculation) it may help us because they (the inspectors) will be more willing to listen to ideas to make there jobs easier. When I attended the Region 6 EPA conference I was amazed at how little many of the inspectors really...

Again your statements are so far from the mark it is almost amusing. I could spend countless hours in rebuttal trying to convince you (Johnny) and other like you that what you are regurgitating is other people’s thoughts and perceptions. If you want to take information from past members...

Your quote has an interesting perspective that lacks complete accuracy. We are all in business to make money and I would not fault PWNA's founder for that point. Many do not know that Robert and others like him within the PWNA have spent more money supporting the organization then they will...

Here are a few of the items that come to mind but are not all the projects we are working on. Every month our membership has been growing Our mentor program is expanding The PWNA website is slowly being reworked along with new changes to the BBS We have taken “Boot Camps on the...

I hear ya. Pond in my back yard that was not installed or ordered.

How is the water here? I am always intrigued reading the posts at this BBS.
