Message from the President:
20th Anniversary
We will celebrate our twentieth birthday next year. I am personally seeking your
input on ways to make this a festive and meaningful event. I look forward to hearing
from you.
Headquarters Staff
We are blessed to have a qualified and loyal staff at headquarters. Much of our
success can be attributed and traced to their
dedication. If you have questions or need
assistance, please give them a call. They
may also be reached via e-mail at
inarte@inarte.us. I know it will be a friendly
and rewarding experience.
Website Expansion Underway
Our Website is expanding and changing.
More members are reaching us at
www.narte.org to renew certifications and
purchase articles. We are dedicated to making
your Internet experience quick and easy.
We have grown from less than 9,000 Web
views in January to 20,000 during June.
That is more than double in just 6 months.
iNARTE's Worldwide Reach
Our association is growing. In the past
we concerned ourselves with the duties focused
on a national basis. Now NARTE is
a global certification body. We have a
strong number of members in Japan and we
look forward to continued international
growth. Our association’s future is bright.
The Board of Directors continues to review
the opportunities associated with worldwide
growth in memberships.
During the Board Meeting in May we created a committee to establish the first annual NARTE Conference. Executive Director Russ Carstensen is heading up the effort. More details on the conference will be available after the September Board Meeting.
Certification Updates
The Telecommunications Certification,
EMC Certification, FCC Commercial License
Examination, ESD Certification, EMC
Test Lab Personnel Certification and the
new Wireless System Installer Certification
will be reviewed and updated again this
year.
Call For Articles
I am seeking your assistance with the
NARTE News. We want articles from you.
I know that your work is interesting and
important. We need articles that describe
what you are doing. It is important that
members know what’s happening. We just
want you to write about real work. Please let
us hear from you.
As you can see there are many ambitious programs underway. We encourage your input. And I personally solicit your comments and suggestions. It is a great honor to serve as your President and I look forward to this next year with great anticipation.
Jim Wickham, President
