I am writing to correct an error in your editorial "Industry Image Initiative" (ENR 5/10 p. 48). In the article you state, "the [National Construction Image] committee no longer is affiliated with NCCER," which is incorrect. The consensus of the committee was that affiliation with NCCER was important to the image effort and should continue.
Three years ago, when the National Construction Image Summit launched the committee, NCCER realized that the image effort must be an industry-wide initiative and not a NCCER program. NCCER assumed and has maintained the role of facilitator. Through the work of many dedicated construction industry professionals and leading educators the committee has now re-invented itself with new vision, new leadership and a new organizational structure. This approach is not unusual for a new effort and the dedication and commitment of the participants is stronger than ever. The committee is reinvigorating its mission.
