IICRC

Maybe someone can post and give us all the up-to-date scoop on IICRC as many have no idea of the changes. Or, maybe there is a website out there that has some explanations...let's hear the pros and cons.

Hey Doug Just hot of the press. The CEO of Ford Motor came into the office to day and annouced it was time to rebrand the name, as of next Monday they will be called The Dorf Motor Car Company, plus all directors will need to have experience building cars.

Why does the new Spanish Navy have glass bottom boats?

Answer: So they can see the old Spanish Navy and learn.

All I am saying Don is that I was very clear to everyone at our townhall meeting that huge changes were going to occur at IICRC or whatever you want to call it.

I was fluffed off as usual by you know who and later on certain people found out that it was in fact true.

I refuse to slam RS as she was a very hard working person. I admit that.

HOWEVER she knew what was in the cards and refused to enlighten the BOD or the membership on these extremely important issues.

It was inappropriate do not bring this issue to the membership. I quit the organization over it and was still accused of having my own self interests being pushed. HOW INSULTING!

Like you Don I love this business. It has been the vehicle to my life's dreams and I respect the industry for that.

But there were important issues that were ignored by the FIO rep and downplayed to the hilt. She appears to have paid the price for it. It appears she was not the only one.

From what I understand the entire IICRC Executive Committee has been replaced except Darrell Paulson who is now Chairman.

Paul Pierce, Mike Reed and Ed Hobbs all gone. Mike and Ed were the epitomy of the word volunteer and they are gone. I understand tears were shed in the hall.

But the old school's time had come.

Hopefully the new regime will learn from the old school's mistakes.

Doug It is a bunch of crap to blame our rep on the IICRC Board for any of this. All major items from IICRC Board meetings are presented to the FIO Board who don't give a crap. They are retailors, wholesalers, manufactors could care less about the cleaning side. Lee wanted a complete report on everything that happens at the IICRC Board meetings, and that is impossible as much of it is not for the public. It would far more important to me to have a report from all the committees, where the actual ground work takes place and I beleive Lee is on one or more of those committees. By the way after getting the person they wanred on the FIO Board he missed the first and a very important meeting of the IICRC I mean The Clean Trust.

	She was there for eight years and was viewed as part of the old school and like the rest of the old school did not get the votes necessary from the shareholders of the IICRC. It really is that simple. The same happened to Mike Reed, Barry Costa, Paul Pearce and Ed Hobbs. I like all these people but they did not get the votes and they are gone. I am really pissed about a couple of these people being gone. I won't quit over it though.

	Lee Took time to go back in my minutes from when I was on FIO Board and Cary was our IICRC rep, could not find any reports from Cary that made it to any Board meetings, maybe the President at the time felt it was not important, or there where no reports.

	I dropped out one year after getting in. I happen to agree that the information is freely available from other places and I sure as hell didn't see any business as a result of joining. Jon Don and CRS in Portland are familiar with the products they sell and the sales people actually learn about the products. For all the once-in-a-lifetime-this-will-happen-to-you stuff, boards are great for that.
	Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

	Lee a lot of what you are talking about was confidential info and not for anyone to go about spreading rumours, how you got hold of the info that far ahead of time is a mystery to me. Did our FIO man remain on the Board?

	Well Don my time in the FIO was short I will explain that to you someday. I guess as long as you can point your finger at the rep and try and persuade everyone else to do the same it will certainly take the heat off Lee. As far as the person missing the first meeting as far as I'am concerned it would also be his last meeting as your rep.
	Just My opinion

	Lee that is a bunch of bull---- to blame RS for all this crap. No body before her ever--ever kept the FIO Board up to snuff on the goings on at the IICRC Board. And isn't great that our new Board member for the FIO misses his first meeting and his Proxi vote is given to TonyW, just confirms what I suspected all along that he was behind the whole thing to get Rosemary not only out of the IICRC but out of a job, just wait til it is time for membership renewals with the FIO and we will see where the power lies.
