I have sat with Martin many times at NTCA, TCNA and ANSI meetings, watching him save tile contractors money and grief. Martin is a fervent defender of tile contractors and of industry standards. He wants to maximize our membership value for all of our members. He will be a great president. I would like to thank the NTCA staff for all of the help and guidance for the last two years: Bart, Jim, Mark and everyone else have been won- derful. I want to thank the Executive Committee for taking a chance on me and then giving me their full sup- port – it means a lot. I want to thank my parents Butch and Mary for keep- ing the doors open while I bounced around the country the last two years. Thank you to my son Preston, who let Dad go out and play with his friends knowing there was less time for him. I am so proud of you. Thank you to my wife Chris. As you know, she has battled cancer this last year, yet she has support- ed me 100% and has represented our industry with class, dignity and immeasurable strength. She is my foundation – I love you. Thank you to all of you who read my letters. I know how valuable your time is and I appreciate the feedback. Respectfully, James James Woelfel, President NTCA Chairman, NTCA Technical Committee 480-829-9197 www.artcraftgmt.com P.S. I am still chairman of the Technical Committee; I look for- ward to seeing you all in the future. PRESIDENT'S LETTER ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– J 18 TileLetter | December 2016
