2009 "Best Practices" for Power Sweeping Contractors
We'll be adding our NPE stories one at a time throughout the month of March.
This seminar was moderated by Carl Barton, president of Memphis-based Aardvark Sweeping Service. Barton is also incoming NAPSA president.
In the three-hour seminar, each of the approximately seminar 75 participants had an opportunity to split out and contribute to two different topic areas. All but two of the topic areas were facilitated by the owner of a substantial sized sweeping company.
The non-contractor facilitators were Shannon Groover, property management professional for Phillips Edison and Company, and Doug Lackey, who represented the pavement industry service aggregator company, Divisions, Inc.
Discussion topics covered included the following. Scroll down to listen to the information:
