Now that anyone can show = themselves as a member of PTG and we have come up with "Registered" = members, which no one has the slightest idea about instead off craftsman = ratings or some other descriptive rating there is only one motivation = and that is from within.. Unfortunately not very many seem to have this = motivation or pride in their work and profession. Whether we are RPTs, = Certified Tuner Technicians,or craftsman, getting the message out is up = to we individual technicians and most of us are busy and have become = very complacent about the problem. To me Certified says a whole lot more = than registered. I'm "Registered" to vote in Florida and we all know = what that means but obviously some don't know how to do it. We as PTG just continue to shoot ourselves in the foot on this issue. = Something needs to be done and it needs to become a priority.

Standing back and taking a long look at the number of = associates who have not upgraded, how about a personal approach on a = chapter level? Though there needs to be good incentives to move to RPT = status, would a one-on-one, face-to-face conversation with each = associate by another chapter member, officer or not, would yeild more = results than all the machinations from higher up? Find out personally = if the member has interest in upgrading, and if so, how can the chapter = help to move him/her in that direction? There are some who have no = interest and will never be an RPT for whatever reason. However, they = still want to be a part of the organization. That may always be. But = the associates who plan to become RPT's perhaps can best be served by a = dialogue in person, privately, quietly, from another member, and that = person could also be his/her mentor through the process.
