If not CEDIA (lacking disagreement on my leading
point, certification), then who? Government?
OK, it's done in a lot of states (not mine).
I'm not sure who I would rather have govern my
certification, govenment or CEDIA. I know for
certain who I would have less influence with,
and they are in Springfield, not Indianapolis.
I know for certain who's influence is for sale,
and that my pockets are not deep enough to buy
a place at the table.
Actually, I'm on CEDIA's legislative committee, and CEDIA also is not against government licensing. Trouble is, they'd rather do it on their own terms, not the IBEW's, who have all the influence. These types of programs are one step in getting CEDIA recognized by legislators as the organization that can certify and vouch for low-voltage installers.
Not saying I agree with the approach of this particular initiative, but if we don't become self-regulated, then the IBEW-funded legislators will do it for us.
