EPA
RRP Rule Certification June 15,
2010
Miami
Valley NARI has another class for the EPA's RRP
Rule Certification scheduled for Tuesday, June 15,
2010. This class will be instructed by
William Menrath, MS. If you or your firm is
not yet certified, here is an opportunity. The
class will take place from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
at the Ramada Plaza North on Wagner Ford
Road. The cost of the class is $179.00 for
member companies or $229.00 for non-member
companies.
EPA's Renovation, Repair
and Painting Final Rule (40 CFR 745) requires that
renovations conducted for compensation, must be
performed by Certified Firms using Certified
Renovators. Renovation firms that wish to work in
pre-1978 homes and child-occupied facilities must
apply to the EPA and pay a fee in order to become
certified. Renovators seeking to become Certified
Renovators must successfully complete an
EPA-accredited renovator course or a course
accredited by an EPA-authorized State or Tribe.
This course is the EPA model course for Certified
Renovators and as such meets all requirements in
40 CFR 745.90. This course will teach attendees
how to comply with the EPA Renovation, Repair and
Painting Rule and the HUD Lead Safe Housing Rule,
and how to perform lead-safe work practices safely
and effectively. Once you have successfully
completed a Certified Renovator Initial Course,
delivered by an EPA-accredited training provider,
you will be an EPA Certified Renovator. EPA
Certified Renovator status will allow you to do
lead-safe renovation, repair, and painting work in
pre-1978 housing and in child- occupied facilities
where work will disturb lead-based
paint.
.
The class is limited to 24 students
and will fill up quickly. Please call (937)
222-6274 to register or go to www.naridayton.org. |
July
8, 2010
With
summer just beginning, fireplaces are the furthest
thing from most people's minds. However
those wanting to remodel or purchase items on sale
are thinking about them and the folks from
Hamilton Parker are going to help you be informed
about what products are out there and how to
determine which is best for each customer.
Please
join Lori Ring and Steve Watters of Hamilton
Parker as they will be discussing the different
options of fireplaces that are available,
including some that are "earth friendly" and the
values of each based on customer need, position in
the home, and installation potential. You will be
surprised what little we actually know about
fireplaces, their uses and their many
advantages.
The
breakfast will take place at the Ramada Plaza
North on Wagner Ford Road. Registration,
Networking and Breakfast begin at 7:30 a.m. with
the program from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.

How
to Nail the Five-Minute Pitch
By
Chuck Dietrich
Startup
CEOs wear many hats. None, perhaps, is more
important than that of "company pitchman."
In
today's competitive funding climate, CEOs often
present at events like Under the Radar, South by
Southwest, and DEMO -- where they have five
minutes on stage to 'sell' their company to
potential investors, partners, and customers.
Getting these presentations right leads to
financing, buzz and growth; getting them wrong
doesn't.

Workshops
Demonstrate Expertise and Expand Your
Market
Bruce
Petersen of Hellenbrand Glass LLC in Madison, WI,
turned his love of history and architecture into
an in-demand window consultancy service
specializing in historic
preservation.
Petersen was contacted
by a colleague who was involved in a grassroots
home preservation effort in Chicago to host a
workshop about how to care for and maintain
historic windows. But his presence at the event
turned out to be more than a charitable
contribution-it resulted in new business and an
expanded market share.
