NTCA PREVIEW 104 TileLetter | July 2017 are in charge of this effort. They are excited to report that a fall program in Milwaukee, Wis., will be the first location for a regional event. Details to follow. CTEF and CTI Certification: Kevin Insalato is doing a great job supporting Scott Carothers and Cathey McCallister with this program. Christine Whittemore continues to provide web and digital content and blogging ser- vices. Kevin reports there are 20 certification tests on the calendar from May-December! Regional Evaluators have been trained and are on board to assist us in growing this program. Videos to train evaluators on how to conduct, score and evalu- ate the tests are being finalized. We are also working with the Certified Flooring Installer group managed by the World Floor Covering Association to finalize an agreement to conduct CTI testing for qualified installers who have completed ceramic installation training in their programs. This CTI test is the same test we offer. There are no easy ways to get certified in the tile industry! TileLetter: We will start working on a 70th Anniversary Section for TileLetter magazine this summer, and plans are for us to include it in the September Issue, which we will bring to Total Solutions Plus, along with the TECH issue. Total Solutions Plus: We are now finalizing the schedule at TSP, working on filling in the breakout speakers and presenters, and starting on sponsorship and tabletop sales. There will be no Technical Committee Meeting at TSP. Committee Meetings will take place on Saturday, November 5th , and the Board of Directors Meeting is on November 6th from 7am- 11:30am. No golf tournament this year, but a fun day sponsored by Dal-Tile will still take place Sunday afternoon. Dal-Tile and NTCA are spon- soring a giveaway trip to TSP for new members this year at our Workshop Programs. We will con- tinue to promote this all summer long and make announcements along the way. Five Star Program: Amber Fox is fully enmeshed in Five Star Program work now. At press time, the meeting is set for June 6th - 8th in Grand Rapids, Mich., at the host site of Welch Tile and Marble. Noble Company is assist- ing in several sponsorship activities as well. Read more about this at tileletter.com and in TileLetter's August issue. The 2018 event will be in Nashville, Tenn.
