| Presidents Corner: Greetings LMCCA Membership |
| Tuesday, October 28, 2008 Posted by MarkCermak |
Things are changing everywhere you look, including the seasons, US politics and industry attitudes. Judging by the current news articles and trade show exhibits, the industry finally has accepted low moisture as a viable form of carpet cleaning. From carpet mills to consumers, carpet cleaning contractors to homeowners, manufacturers to end-users, acceptance seems to abound.
We think we know why.
While we’ve always known that low moisture carpet cleaning is effective, there are actually many other reasons to embrace it. Environmentally, low moisture carpet cleaning systems can reduce electricity usage, water usage and greatly reduce or eliminate wastewater disposal issues. Additionally, we’re seeing a continuous flow of new and innovative machines designed to work with the new, modern chemistries in low moisture carpet cleaning operations. These new machines are designed to make the low moisture carpet cleaning process quicker, easier and more efficient.
There are other benefits as well. The reduction of latent moisture in carpets and substrates reduces the threat of mold, mildew or growth of pathogenic microorganisms. This can yield improved indoor air quality and can give us all a healthier indoor environment.
Finally, low moisture carpet cleaning has addressed real world cleaning issues. Low moisture carpet cleaning can improve perceived cleanliness, increase cleaning frequencies, and enhance carpet appearance. The result helps to make carpeting even more appealing to the average consumer. Carpets can be as quick and easy to keep clean as hard floors while delivering all the positive benefits for having carpeting - sound deadening, air filtering, and a general warm and cozy indoor environment.
I believe it is a combination of all these things that has propelled the LMCCA’s unprecedented growth. That… and the passionate enthusiasm of our membership. You!
Thank you for your support! Working together, as a unified group, we really can influence positive change.
Mark Warner
President, LMCCA

| Presidents Corner: PRESIDENT’S NEWS DROP |
| Monday, February 11, 2008 Posted by Admin |
Greetings To All,
This year, 2008, stands to be a “mile mark” year for the LMCCA. Our membership continues to grow and we may see our ranks double or triple this year. Our mission has always been to increase the awareness and acceptance of low moisture carpet cleaning systems and as I look over what we have done the last few years, it’s easy to see how much we have moved forward.
This year, we will continue our involvement in trade shows and trade magazines. These have proven to be great opportunities to express our motivations and goals while allowing a wonderful glimpse of the people in the LMCCA. And after all, it’s the people that differentiate one association from another, the passion of the membership and the quality of its leadership. One look at the current Board of Directors shows the immense talent helping to drive the LMCCA. It is the most distinguished Board, with more diverse talent and knowledge, than we have ever had in the history of the LMCCA. People like this can not only help guide the LMCCA into the future, but can help guide the entire industry into future.
Additionally, this year the LMCCA has several eye-opening projects on the table.
These projects revolve around the issues that are most important in today’s marketplace. Specifically, it is our goal to explore how low moisture cleaning positively impacts current issues like the Green Movement, the Health & Safety Movement, Indoor Air Quality issues, Infectious Disease Control issues, etc. These are issues on everyone’s minds these days.
This is our year to perfect our website and referral networking programs, to complete the production and release of our “Procedures” Video and to continue to propel the LMCCA within our industry and others. Effectively making the LMCCA the association everyone wants to be involved with.
Again, people make the difference in the success of an association and we’re proud to be associated with people like you. Ultimately, you make the difference. We couldn’t be successful without you and together we can all do truly important and magnificent things. Thank you all.
Mark Warner
LMCCA President
