PDR Technicians: Have You Heard Of NAPDRT? Part I

This is the National Alliance of Paintless Dent Repair Technicians (NAPDRT). This is an outside organization that you can join that is there to support each Paintless Dent Repair Technician. In fact, this is how they describe themselves and their intention:
The NAPDRT is a Not for Profit organization that was started by quality PDR Technicians who are concerned about the future of our trade, the lack of consumer awareness about quality paintless dent repair, and its many advantages over conventional body shop repairs.
Their Mission Statement is short but pointed. The mission of the National Alliance of Paintless Dent Repair Technicians is to unite independent PDR technicians, and to educate both technicians and consumers about the accountability, quality service, and value provided by our members.
Who are they? They believe the best way to solve these problems is to unite, and provide strength through numbers. These issues are currently being decided by a small handful of companies claiming to speak for and represent the entire PDR industry. Thousands of independent PDR Technicians have been left with no voice or input into these critical decisions that are affecting the PDR Technician’s livelihood and future.
As a result of this gathering of PDR Technicians, they have created a board of people to govern the direction and speak on behalf of Paintless Dent Repair Technicians nationwide. It is comprised of four Officers, and six Directors and all participate in the decisions made. In my opinion, this seems to be a fair enough number of people to cause the proper and legal direction of the organization. Surely with the total of ten people there will be enough diversity within the group that it will not be guilty of pigeon holing the ideas and growth of those they are tasked with representing in this newly blossoming industry.
Follow me over to Part II where I finish telling you about this group.
