Membership Directory & Resource Guide - 2018 - 15

BE INVOLVED-Join a Committee!
As it is said, you get out of your association as much
as you give back to your association through your
involvement! It can be accurately stated that the heart
and soul of the National Plasterers Council (NPC) is
found at the grassroots or committee level.
As a national organization without a regional or local
structure, we don't anticipate that everyone will have
the resources or time to be involved.
The real work of the Council is done in each of the
seven standing committees. The committees look
to the Board of Directors for direction and definition
of purpose. We do ask that all our members have
minimal involvement by:

*

Abiding by the NPC Code of Ethics
Use the NPC Technical Manual
Purchase NPC Brochures and Videos
Attend the National Conference
Attend Regional Meetings when in your area
Attend Seminars offered at Regional Trade
Shows

With that in mind however, many industry members
want to give back to their industry and be involved.
There are several committees you can serve as a
member or if you're ready to make a major plunge,
you can be nominated to be on our National Board
of Directors. Below is a brief description of each
committee and their responsibilities. Committee
members are appointed by their respective
Committee Chairs. New Board Members can be
appointed anytime during the year by a majority
vote of the sitting Board Members at any regular
or special meeting of the Board OR they can be
nominated by the Nominating Committee and
elected at the General Membership Meeting at the
NPC National Conference.
MEMBERSHIP: Responsible for the development
and execution of an annual membership recruitment
and retention program. The Committee works
with the staff and general membership in reaching
membership goals approved by the Board of
Directors.
TECHNICAL ADVISORY: Responsible for reviewing
possible updates and changes to the NPC Technical

Manual to be approved by the NPC Board of
Directors. The Committee also is responsible for
reviewing and updating other research and media
pieces along with educational seminars keeping
them in line with industry standards.
RESEARCH: The Research Committee is responsible
for the overall Research program of the NPC. The
Committee is responsible for overseeing any research
under contract with any entity on behalf of the NPC.
Much of their time is developing research protocols
and securing funding for the research. This is a very
time consuming committee.
NATIONAL CONFERENCE: Responsible for the
planning and execution of the NPC Annual Conference.
The Committee works hand in hand with the NPC Staff
on developing a budget, program schedule, seminars,
and PR Materials. The Committee is also responsible
for assisting the staff in securing major and minor
sponsors for the conference.
EDUCATION: Responsible for the development and
presentation of training seminars for members and
the industry at large. The Committee oversees the
development and evolution of certification and training
programs provided by NPC.

ADDITIONAL COMMITTEES: Scholarship (Rey
Pereles Memorial Scholarship), Marketing Committee
BOARD OF DIRECTORS: The NPC National Board
of Directors is currently comprised of twenty (20)
members. The Board is responsible for all aspects
of the organization but primarily spends it's time
approving committee programs and setting a
direction for the organization. The Board is solely
responsible for setting organization policy including
annual budget and calendar.
