President's Message
2012
Jodi Clem , 2012 President - Q1 Message
First and foremost, I would like to thank the membership for the opportunity to be FCIA 2012 President.
Thanks also to 2011 FCIA President Bob Hasting, the Board of Directors, Committee Chairs & Volunteers,
and the Membership for participation and hard work this past year. Finally, thank you to all the contractor,
manufacturer and associate members who have supported this organization throughout the years.
With 2011 coming to an end, we now begin looking forward into what 2012 will bring. At FCIA, I’m proposing 2012
as "The Year of the Member". Look for even more focus on the "Member" in the upcoming year. I look forward to working with everyone in 2012 and ask every member to commit to being a little more involved and connected to the association to make this happen.
Let’s all hope for some market improvement in the coming year as our industry rebounds and growth returns. I
believe that if we continue to help improve fire and life safety through code and compliance, we will be able to
further improve how Specialty Firestop Contractors are perceived as a trade. With that, we continue driving the
industry forward through the FCIA committees on such items as apprenticeship education programs, firestop
contractor licensing, standards development, improved conference programs plus domestic and international
membership growth.
Since our inception a short 13 years ago, FCIA has experienced tremendous growth. Please join me in continuing
this journey and helping to make 2012 an exciting and prosperous year for all of us!
Jodi Clem, 2012 FCIA President
Firestop Contractor International Association
