The Duct Cleaners Network (DCN: www.ductcleanersnetwork.org) hosted its 7th Annual Conference July 29 – Aug 1, 2010, at the Sterling Inn, located just outside of Detroit, Michigan.

With a focus on business networking with the high quality service and equipment providers coupled with peer-to-peer hands-on training, the programs and events were overwhelmingly well received. It was one of our largest turnouts with over 60 business owners, managers, and technicians attending the full conference, and all conference sessions had a 100% participation level.

Day one featured our inaugural Annual Golf Outing at the luxurious Cherry Creek Golf Club in Shelby Township. On day two the powerful and energy-filled keynote presentation “Realizing and Using the Laws of Attraction in Your Life” was delivered by nationally renowned speaker Michael Jeffries. Day one sessions at the Inn covered topics such as “Choose your customer – Don’t let them choose you,” “Technology Innovations for the Duct Cleaner” and a very competitive hands-on estimating exercise in the Inn’s giant natatorium.

Day two of the conference was held on-site at Safety King the DuctPro in Shelby Township (www.safetyking.com, www.ductpro.com). At their campus, MJ and Marcus Palazzolo facilitated several more presentations including “Hiring and Background Checks” and “Crawl Space Solutions to Improve IAQ.” The entire conference also participated in a half-day presentation on Lead and Asbestos Awareness presented by Eastern Michigan University followed by a special BBQ luncheon. That evening attendees headed over to Dave and Buster’s for dinner, games, and merriness.

The Duct Cleaners Network has already announced plans to hold its 8th annual event at the same location in August of 2011. Exact dates will be announced shortly. The DCN’s mission remains promoting interaction among its members at reasonable costs. All events are held at family-friendly properties. In addition to the networking and educational programs some members even use the network to cooperatively participate in large projects together. To support true networking, DCN hosts a lively Discussion Forum. DCN members also have access to a comprehensive business audio library. More information about this exciting network and their upcoming events calendar can be found at the website, www.ductcleanersnetwork.org.

Operations Manager MJ Palazzolo, Supervisor of Shows and Exhibits Marcus Palazzolo and Technician Chris Nevens were all there mingling with the crowd and answering questions. One of the smaller shows that Safety King participates in, the 2007 Macomb Home Improvement Show provided a more intimate setting and more time with each person who was interested in Safety King’s services. Even owner Mike Palazzolo made an appearance to the delight of those who have known him for years and enjoy his knowledge and expertise on his industry.

Safety King sponsors NADCA’s 17th Annual Meeting and Exposition.

Held in Dallas, Texas, the “2006 Indoor Environments” meeting was one of the most successful to date. Sponsored by Safety King, attendance was robust and the programs were informative and powerful, yet focused and concise.

New initiatives in training and certification were introduced and the standards for member companies continue to be raised. A hot topic of discussion was a new member designation exclusively for those companies that guarantee certified ASCS personnel on every jobsite, something Safety King has done for years.

Below, Safety King President Michael S. Palazzolo has the honor of introducing the keynote speaker George Hedly.

After the keynote address it was off to the exhibit hall where Michael spent hours promoting the healthy growth of the organization as well as that of the industry as a whole. “We continue to distance ourselves from the cheap, untrained companies of the past. The public is becoming more aware of the disservice these ‘blow-and-go’ companies can do to an uninformed consumer. The evidence has become overwhelming that it is imperative to hire only trained, licensed, and certified companies equipped with the best tools. And this only makes sense. If we demand the highest standards from those we hire to clean our teeth, repair our cars or care for our pets, why wouldn’t we demand the same of a company servicing the systems that control indoor air quality for us and our families?”

Symbolic of Safety King’s dedication to the trend toward higher industry standards, Operations Manager Michael J. Palazzolo, below, accepts the first place award for new member sponsorship.
