Promote Your Industry
As the irrigation industry continues to grow, we are faced with a more complex business environment in which to operate.
The number of irrigation contractors continues to grow making it necessary for the professional irrigation contractor to protect his/her future by promoting some form of quality standards. We cannot allow other trades and agencies to dictate and control our industry so we must take an active part in setting our future course.
With the ever present reminder of water conservation and environmental concerns, especially in regard to governmental regulations, we must be prepared for continuous changes. With these changes, we, as an industry, must adapt and provide leadership for the best direction for all. To make sure you are a part of the decision making process, join YOUR association today.
The association can make a difference and you are needed as a vital participant in helping to accomplish the Association’s
purposes and objectives. Become involved! Your participation on committees, board services, etc. is welcomed!
Contact the CIA office to volunteer!
