Letter from the President Gary Morrison, CR And then there is member-ship. We need to constantly increase our numbers. Sound familiar? Just like our busi-nesses.

When more people join our chapter, we get more expo-sure. Becoming known for professionalism and ethics in the lead paint area will help to brand us with the homeowner and then more members will want to join.
