President's Message - Spring 2021

Greetings to all! I hope everyone is healthy and safe!

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Master Plumbers Council of the City of New York (MPC), I would like to welcome you to the first issue of the new and improved the Voice of the Licensed Master Plumber newsletter. MPC is continuing to adapt to the ever-changing, complex environment that we are facing each day. Our newsletter committee, board members and association staff worked hard to create a publication with valuable, interesting, and exciting information!

It is certain that today’s licensed plumbers are facing difficult challenges that past generations of plumbers never did. The COVID-19 pandemic is something no one could have imagined or prepared for. The MPC worked diligently to ensure that all members were aware of all information pertaining to running your business safely, efficiently and in a compliant manner. In this issue of the Voice, we have a great article that describes more of what the MPC did to help members during the pandemic and what we are continuing to do as we still navigate such uncertain waters.

Licensed plumbers operating their businesses are also faced with the challenges of everchanging laws and regulations and more. In order to run your business in compliance with all regulations, LMPs must spend a significant amount of time understanding these new and updated items. All of these Codes, laws, regulations, etc. are found in books that could be thousands of pages long! Its like the old public library. When you needed to find a book, the only way to do so, without spending days in the library searching, was to get assistance from the librarian who knew the library like the back of their hand. In this analogy, the MPC is your librarian! The MPC is a vital resource that helps members in navigating the changes that affect their business.

Being a member of the MPC provides you with access to a dedicated staff of “librarians” who are leaders in the NYC plumbing industry. For those who are not yet members, I encourage you to invest in the success of your business by joining the MPC today! Please visit www.nycmpc.org/JoinMPC to submit your application.

I would like to take a moment to offer a heartfelt thank you to our members, affiliates, and advertisers for their continued support. Without your support, we could not move forward with the countless programs and resources we offer.

Regards,

Rick Bonelli
President
Master Plumbers Council of the City of New York

The collective Voice of our membership is much greater than any single individual. Join the MPC today and have your voice heard!
