tile professionals in New England,” Heinlein explained. Business owners such as Russell Caminiti of Cam’s Carpet spent the day in support of staff members who were taking the test. In addition, Diane and Carl Dubberly had key members of the Artistic staff on the testing line as well. “This is what we, as members of the NTCA, do to support each other,” Heinlein said. “These are big events to schedule and coordinate. A lot of moving parts have to come into alignment. They are physically and mentally draining for the test takers and the evaluation team. The prepa- ration, generosity, professionalism and hospitality provided by Diane and Carl made this evaluation a great success for everyone. They worked extremely hard to provide a first-rate experience for everyone involved. I love working with everyone on our NTCA Region 1 New England team – I’m looking forward to my next visit!” Heinlein concluded. Test modules features bucket and trowel kits were provided by Rubi to use during the exam and take them home for daily use. NTCA member Scodd Industries also provided to each test taker with a Porcelain Plus Speed Bit.
