NTCA Round Tables At select locations, NTCA Members are invited to join a round table discussion hosted by their regional director and ambas- sadors and facilitated by NTCA Staff. Topics will vary by location and may include: taking advan- tage of member benefits; network- ing with other members and peers; current issues affecting methods, standards, best practices, safety, training, finding and retaining employees; discussion of local and regional issues of concern. Dates and locations for NTCA roundtables will be announced soon. We are very excited about the NTCA Training Experience. We feel that there is no replacement to the benefits offered by presenting physical skills training in as many areas of the country as possible. It is our hope that the synergy cre- ated in these events will result in a trickle-down positive effect: install- ers who are present at the training will share this knowledge with their peers who were not able to be there, resulting in improved instal- lation performance and reduction of installation error.
