I have been checking in here for several days and have seen no activity at all so is it safe to assume the Fat lady sang or what?

I have all the bod members to bring us strong into 2012.
Will have a hella convention too!!
This org not dead!!
Fat lady is still just fat!!
Sounds good but what about the step in between.. the election? Do you know if that is happening? Its December in a few days with holidays and one month to sort this out for the new year. I don't talk to anyone about this stuff and I'm sure even if I did, no one would really know the answer. Ron, is there activity going on?
Promote why this org matters then you got a shot and don't be led blindly on any important issues or once again your going to get the 1 step forward and 2 steps back and eventually stuck in the mud.Good luck.
Great idea John!
Let's start with the UAMCC is the only Member owned mobile cleaner Org.
The only "Non-Profit" mobile cleaner Org.
The only mobile cleaner Org. That has a forum where Members and non-members can interact with each other and the leadership (last one will be worked on).
That the UAMCC is not controlled by distributors.
That the UAMCC does not spread disinformation about our Industry that will put contractors under more regulation.
That the UAMCC nor it's leadership consider pressure washers "Polluters" or a large contributor to pollution and illegal discharges.
That the UAMCC will never lie about implementing a BMP by telling contractors it will not be shopped around to local and State Governments, and them does so.
That the UAMCC will benefit all Members equally, and not just a select few.
That the UAMCC will never "peek in your back yard".
That the UAMCC will do more than sit there and take video when people with guns talk to pressure washers about subjects they are not educated in.
I could go on, these are just off the top of my head.

Good post John T! And you're right. I think there are a bunch of contractors waiting to join, but as you said they're waiting for strong leadership to emerge, and that's no slight to present directors. The Org is too much to handle for 3 people.
It's time for elections, so let's get on with it. I have reached out to the Bod to let them know if they need help I will be glad to jump in and do what I can.
As Ron said the past is the past, I would like to see some of the TT team back in here helping, I would like to even see Carlos back in some fashion. It's time to pull together and not apart.
I wish the suspicions of certain people that are offering help would stop. At this point I don't think the industry can afford to lose the UAMCC. This will only leave us with the "Evil Empire" which I see as a destructive force if not put into check.

First off I am with you Guy...where cool. That aside I am on board to have a lively discussion here..because what is there to lose anyway... We all go back to our regular schedule livesJohn, I "denounced" nothing or no other whatever here. It was not negative, but just a few positives of being a Member of the UAMCC. If I was wrong anywhere in that list please tell me where.
I know where your loyalty lays in this discussion John, and that's cool, really.
I don't consider you a stupid person John, far far from it, but even you cannot deny the facts and be so blind toward the side you have taken. There's just no way!!!
You're always cool in my book John....Always!

Guy,
I think you are right. Many will join if the org gets its act together. My fear is this, the IRS is very strict with its non-profit status organizations and companies, Each year they publish a list of entities that have had their status revoked. From Little League Organizations to religious orgs, the list spares no one. The concern that no one is communicating with the outside world is concerning, not having a full BOD seated is an issue, not following the by-laws that were submitted to the IRS as part of the paperwork for getting non-profit is an issue. I believe Our (and I mean mine also as I am a charter member) UAMCC President sits on a committee of another Industry org; I worry that he has committments that restrict the time needed to get this org back on track. For whatever reason, the org worked damn hard to get the non-profit status, I hope it doesnt get revoked for poor housekeeping or from a complaint to the IRS by a member, competitor or any person who wants to see this fail.
I have reached out to both John Orr and Mike T regarding the 2012 Pressure Washing Seminar. They may or may not know that the last Seminar I presented was a good event for the UAMCC and generated several thousand dollars for them in new memberships. It is concerning that neither one has responded to my communication. Again, I will give them the benifit of the doubt that they have limited time available and are focused on getting the BOD elections underway.
I think if they can put 10 people on the BOD with Doug Ruckers "can do" attitude, the org will have 300 members by July 1st 2012.
Stay after them Guy, It will be up to members like yourself to insure the bylaws are followed, the BOD elections are held and the org moves forward.
Good Luck to you and the UAMCC membership
