President's Letter

Well, summer is winding down, and the school year is back in full swing. Your Greater Indianapolis PHCC is planning many helpful topics at our upcoming lunch meetings in October, November and on into the next year as well. I hope you'll plan to join us at these meetings. In October, John Bain with RT Moore will speak about his work on the IN State PHCC Board to attract new talent into our industry. Recruitment is a huge issue for us all. This initiative promises to pay big dividends for all PHCC members in the future. In November Frank Bruggner with Viega Co. will be talking about how Legionella can negatively impact the potable water systems in our customers' homes and businesses and what can be done to safeguard against this threat. These topics are specifically selected to be timely and informative. If there are any other topics you would like to have presented at these meetings, please let me know.

Remember: The Indiana State PHCC convention is just around the corner. I hope you are planning to come to this event. It will be a fun and profitable time for all. I look forward to seeing you there.

Brian Lebo,

GIPHCC President

How Indiana PHCC Is Helping You Find Your Next Plumbing Tech

The State Association has launched the workforce development initiative www.thebestcareer4you.com.
Put simply a prospective employee requests information, and that request is sent to Indiana PHCC contractor members. The contractor connects the person to see if they are a good fit! In the first few weeks there have been over a hundred inquiries made through the site. To learn more come to the Indiana PHCC Convention!
