Silence of the Lambs

It's time the grass roots cleaners took true control of its own organization. That to me does not mean being apart of any organization lead by people or groups that continually refuse to tell us how they spent OUR MONEY on things including consulting fees, salaries, meeting expenses and conventions.

AN INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATION needs new leadership that has limited terms of service.

AN INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATION must have leaders that have no personal or corporate direct or indirect financial gain to themselves or relatives in any association dealings or activities including operation of trade shows or conventions.

AN INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATION must have annual independent financial audits of all association activities including salaries, honorariums, consulting, board meetings, education and trade shows or conventions. This transparency should include both how money is spent and who is giving it to the organization and its subcontractors.

It's time that instructors, association board members and other dedicated professionals are free of fear of reprisal that threatens their personal livelihood so they can honestly express themselves.

If your local or national trade association refuses or makes excuses to not clearly and completely tell you where the money comes from or how it’s being spent, doesn't it tell you something?

It's time the grass roots cleaners took true control of its own INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATION.

Mr. Craig Kersemeier we want an independent audit.

A properly run organization can promote carpet sales and carpet cleaning to the consumer, something that the IICRC has never done effectively, if at all. We need someone to promote cleaning on a national/international level so that our potential customers install good quality carpet and have it professionally maintained at regular intervals. As it stands, people buy cheap crap and replace it with cheap laminate cuz it doesn't last.

It's not about setting standards or prices. It's about educating consumers to purchase and maintain carpet. If we want regulation, let the government take it over

We need to speak with our support. If they aren't doing things that benefit the cleaners, quit sending them money. I did 6 years ago. If everyone else does the same, they will be out of "non profit" biz quickly

So Kenny learned his scams from the IICRC?????

They work as associates when they take your money Don.

"the money Associates". LOL
