PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE<br />
CHAD MYERS<br />
It’s hard to believe that as I’m writing this letter, winter<br />
is fast approaching. With temperatures hovering around<br />
90 degrees, it’s hard to imagine that snow will more than<br />
likely be falling in the upcoming months.<br />
We at MPMCA hope everyone had a great summer<br />
and, despite the weather, are preparing for a busy and<br />
prosperous winter.<br />
Make sure to save the date for the annual MPMCA Expo, which<br />
will be held at Soaring Eagle’s Casino and Resort. The Expo will<br />
be held on March 14, 2018, and will feature all the latest and<br />
greatest technology our industry has to offer. This is one of the<br />
largest expositions of plumbing, heating and cooling products<br />
in <strong>Michigan</strong> with over 3,000 products from more than 400<br />
manufacturers. The show is always free of charge to contractors,<br />
rep agencies, installers, inspectors, wholesalers, and engineers.<br />
Be sure to mark your calendar to get the updates on the latest<br />
products our industry has to offer. Soaring Eagle Casino and<br />
Resort will not disappoint and offers several activities including<br />
entertainment, restaurants, and gaming as well as a host of other<br />
amenities. We hope to see you and your staff there.<br />
<strong>Plumbing</strong>, Heating and Air Conditioning is probably one of the<br />
most underrated technologies in the United States. Arguably,<br />
plumbing ranks very high in lives saved over the years with<br />
clean water delivery, backflow<br />
prevention, sanitation, and<br />
filtration. Also, imagine<br />
hospitals, grocery stores, and the<br />
like with no air conditioning or<br />
refrigeration to rely on to keep<br />
patients comfortable, deliver<br />
medical gases, or keep groceries<br />
preserved. It’s hard to imagine<br />
what life would have been like<br />
just over 100 years ago with none<br />
of these technologies available or<br />
at least widely used. The next time you see a plumber, HVAC<br />
tech, or installer, be sure to thank them for making all of our<br />
lives much more enjoyable. As you make your way to the Expo<br />
in the spring, reflect on what technologies have progressed over<br />
the years and how proud we all should be to be a part of such an<br />
important trade.<br />
Please come and join us at the Expo in 2018; we hope to see you<br />
all there.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Chad Myers<br />
MPMCA President<br />
