From PDPA

Thanks to membership support from people like you the PDPA is succeding in bettering the decorative painting industry.

• What have we accomplished and what are we doing next?

If you look closely at our mission you can see what we are intending to do for the decorative painting industry. Our actions are stated with two select phrases: "Provide knowledge and resource" and "foster growth."

-Andre Martinez PDPA board president

The PDPA is not! Starting a school Regulating Judging Rating Making a uniform curriculum Telling people how or what to teach Telling people how or what to paint Forcing or enforcing

The PDPA is! All inclusive Sharing Educating the public Helping schools Helping professionals get work Building assessment models Elevating professionalism Elevating levels of practice

We believe that leaders don’t force people to follow; they invite them on a journey.
