Hi People

Until the day comes that the public  becomes educated,  aware and =
demands expertise and professional performance or heaven forbid the =
government becomes involved and demands licensing such as that demanded =
for other  trades such as plumbers and electricians, we are just =
lighting a fire under and empty skillet. 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.   Flame suit on =
and ready.....
