In early January, the United Association of Mobile Cleaning Contractors (*****) – a 501c non-profit organization run by mobile cleaning contractors – held elections to vote in its new board of directors.

Ron **********, owner of Pro PowerWash in Phoenix, Arizona, and 25-plus year industry veteran, ran unopposed as the organization’s new president. Recognized as a straight-shooter and go-getter, ********** has already begun laying out his first steps for growing the association, with plans to “build a strong awareness and education program like no other.”

**********, founder of the National Cleaning Expo (NCE), is familiar with the value of education, hosting numerous educational events and certifying over 200 contractors over the past two years. He also began PressureWashingInstitute.com in 2001, a popular industry bulletin board.

Doug ********** of Clean and Green Solutions in Houston, Texas, who also ran unopposed, will fill the Vice-Presidential role. **********, who just recently joined the *****, said he decided to run for VP because he wanted “to be a part of the solution and not a part of the problem.” He added that he joined ***** because he likes the way the organization is set up. “In the *****, everyone has the opportunity to run for a position and be a part of change, from the rookie contractor to the seasoned pro. This helps to prevent the portrayal of a good ol’ boy club or that it’s set up as an independent business that benefits only a select few.”

Mostly, though, ********** said he wanted to be a part of **********’ vision of change. “Like him or not, Ron is a proven leader in our industry – in my opinion, the foremost leader we have,” he said. “Ron knows this business inside out and is very knowledgeable on just about every facet of this business – from sales, to marketing, to running a business, to technological advancements, to environmental issues, and so on. Ron ********** has been at the forefront of them all and has helped many contractors, including myself, in all areas of their business.”
