PDCA’s Project Green Brush<br />
Make sure to visit PDCA’s Project Green<br />
Brush and help lead the green charge<br />
with PDCA. Just as PDCA contractor members<br />
hold a position of leadership within the<br />
industry it is important for PDCA to lead in the promotion of<br />
environmental friendly ways of doing business. PDCA’s Project<br />
Green Brush is an example of where we as association can help<br />
to pave the way. Currently Project Green Brush includes ten<br />
simple tips for painting contractors that promote the use of<br />
environmentally friendly project planning, surface preparation,<br />
painting and cleanup methods.<br />
Get involved!<br />
I invite you to become involved. Start implementing the recommendations<br />
within your company. Help expand Project Green<br />
Brush by submitting your suggestions and additional tips. On<br />
the webpage there is a link to send in your ideas to help in the<br />
expansion of the project. Visit PDCA Project Green Brush in<br />
the contractor’s website by going to the Education menu item<br />
and clicking on the Green Contracting drop down link.<br />

at any level, PDCA’s new Leadership Center was built for you.<br />

Only menu. To gain access, you’ll need to get the Center’s<br />
user name and password. (Please call the National PDCA<br />

for communication, interaction and provides many resources<br />
for volunteer leaders and paid staff. Read and participate on<br />
the new Leadership Center Blog. On blogs you can interact<br />
by commenting on any of the weekly postings. There are also<br />
podcasts and leadership training resources.<br />
New content is added to the Center on a regular basis and<br />
includes shared content from Chapters, Councils and Forums.<br />
A recent shared addition is a submittal from the Denver PDCA<br />
that will assist your group in hosting a Painter Olympics. Does<br />
your PDCA group have a successful program, meeting topic,<br />
leadership resource or tool to share with your fellow leaders?<br />
Submit it using the ‘Share Your Ideas’ submittal form in the<br />
Leadership Center.<br />
PDCA Online Podcasts<br />
Do you own an iPod, or other Mp3 digital music player?<br />
PDCA Online has podcasts. What’s a podcast you may<br />
ask? If you’re a fan of either a cassette tape or CD audio<br />
presentations and training that you may listen to while driving<br />
or in your office -- podcasts are the modern delivery method<br />
for presentations and training. You don’t need an Apple iPod<br />
to listen to podcasts. In fact, you can listen to podcasts on<br />
your computer or download them to any portable digital<br />
player. Take a look around PDCA Online. Podcasts are being<br />
added on a regular basis and cover many topics. They can be<br />
found under the Articles/Media menu bar and within several<br />
blogs. Podcast topics are available for Contractor College,<br />
PDCA Leadership Center, the Member Only area and other<br />
general website offerings.<br />
