    What did I miss?

    The main goal is to use this exceptional platform to advance tree care businesses. We still don't know exactly how the best way is to share ideas and information, but we do know that it makes no sense for TCIA to try to start a platform from scratch when we can cross-promote between Tree Buzz...

    What did I miss?

    It was a challenging experience. Some really fun moments, and some stress. Quite a time commitment for meetings and travel but it was great to be involved and help TCIA to continuously improve.

    What did I miss?

    Just logged into TreeBuzz for the first time in several years, out of curiosity. So cool to see a lot of the same folk in here that were here 5-10 years ago. I'm not sure I have any extra time to hang out in here, but I'll try to pop in every now and then. I am handing off the TCIA board...

    All About Trees is hiring!

    Rare opportunity to join a tight-knit team of climbing arborists. We need to add one great Arborist, or Arborist trainee to our squad. We have had ZERO employee turnover for the last four years! We are located in Springfield, MO, where it’s cheap living and we have all the best nature around us...

    Last I heard we have over 40 climbers registered, limit is 50! If you're thinking about it better jump now! And we could always use more help on the volunteer side. Go to mwisa.org to register.

    As a board member I am expected to contribute articles, too. My perception is that there are enough arborists that want to see their article published that the "market" is driven down. Classic supply and demand setting prices for their published material.

    Daniel, I know that the committee that writes these standards is a volunteer committee, that is usually looking for qualified members. They start working on the upcoming standard even as the current one is going to print. It sounds like you might have done it, but I encourage you to contact TCIA...

    I'll also say that if two issues of grapplesaw misquotes or misinformation cause you to negate all the other good contributions that the organization is making to our industry in safety, free training with ASTI, political representation, and workforce development, it's a little narrow minded...

    Colb, I want every size company to have the opportunity to gain knowledge, advice, help. If you are willing to cough up the money for membership, there should be a reward. One that makes your company safer and more profitable. I think I was not clear on the quoted post, I think it sucks that...

    Oh, I wasn't clear. The program is good for qualifying companies, the "but" in my answer was meant to imply that I wish more kick-ass small companies could qualify and enjoy the benefits of a strong safety culture. I don't have a definition for "small" company, but I still feel like I have one.

    What knowledge do you feel is being suppressed? We all live on information and I feel fortunate to have access to more information on this little tablet than all previous generations combined. What are your biggest complaints with the pruning stsndards? I agree that the gears churn slow.

    I'll hunt down that thread. I thing the bulk of TCIA's income is membership dues, including the equipment suppliers and manufacturers who are members. Let me look into my financial reports to back that up. I feel like the Arbormax partnership with TCIA is a good one, I just signed up for...

    Wise words, good leaders are not easy to find. It's a slow road to shift the processes of a whole industry, but if the good leaders that are out there can influence others, we will keep creeping forward .

    Hey, Casey. Man, I'm right with you on trying to have TCIA representation in these online forms, to be available to people with questions and business needs. There is a big push now for training students in arboriculture, and TCIA has some big ideas on the horizon. I'll try to keep you posted .

    This is a topic I don't know much about. Who controls the A300, and how does it prevent us smaller guys from playing on the same field? Honest question .

    I understand what you're saying. But regulation without enforcement only affects those following the rules voluntarily. It feels like dealing with this on a local level often has more "teeth" than trying to enforce on a state wide or national scale?

    You know how you get overwhelmed with all the online interactions: Insta, FB, etc. I took a little break. Can I reintroduce myself? I'm Noel Boyer. Have a cool little company in Springfield, MO. Was a competitive climber for 20 years, now on the other side of the clipboard. Got my BCMA...
