The UAMCC has NOT as a group discussed the relationship that the ORG will have with vendors and/or manufacturers.
We will communicate again, as we have planned, to talk with the vendor community to continue our discussions with them. Again if you remember, we have had calls with them in the past. The UAMCC will, after speaking with distributors, will gel a structure/policy around this subject.
As we have in the past, as announcements or important topics come up, we will put them on the UAMCC BBS for continued dialogue.
This is a touchy subject and it was not the UAMCC's intention to put this in the spotlight as it turned out to be until we get our arms wrapped around this.
As the leader of the UAMCC, I apologize to the folks that have read these post and felt that the UAMCC was on a rampage to judge, muscle or finger point at the distributor community. That was not our intent nor is it our position nor has it been our position. I personally want to apoligize to Mark. Though the mud was slung in his direction I thank him for his level of professionalism.
The UAMCC has NOT made it ....yet. We are humbled ...very humbled to have accomplished what we have done thus far but we have many roads to travel. The pace and agenda from Day ONE has been fruitful due to the fact that our promise to the industry has been one of diligence, respect, honesty and empowerment. The UAMCC will and is a contractor driven organization.
The Transition Team will agree with me when I say that being a member on the transition team is a priveldge and with that priveldge comes a enormous amount of responsibilty. But we are also human and unfortunately our human emotion took precedence over of what should have been a productive and positive dialogue. I take full responsibility of this and I can only assure you that we will do everything humanly possible to fulfill our quest in establishing an organization for contractors.
Each member of the transition team has my full support. I did not pick nor will future transition team members be appointed to the team on a "are they liked or disliked" in the industry criteria. For the person that called me up to complain. You will find that you will get more accomplished by focusing in on the problem vs. the person.
Now, some may want to continue to kick this can down the road as a distraction for what we are truly doing here. I hope not but we cannot control the keystrokes.
The run up to establishing a new org is not easy...if it was then it would have been done a long time ago. It is my feeling that the industry has giving the UAMCC a chance to embark in this direction. You as the contractor will and have put a great amount of trust in allowing this to happen for the industry. Again, we at the TT level DO NOT take this trust for granted and we acknowledge that we must still continue to earn your trust as the UAMCC unfolds.
Thank you for your support and your patience!
