PHTA UPDATES
Be the first pool professional ever to win the Greg Garrett Scholarship Award! The application deadline is this Friday, September 16. The Greg Garrett Scholarship Award was developed by the PHTA Recreational Water Quality Committee (RWQC) to honor the memory of Greg Garrett, an industry leader and believer in the importance of continuing education. The winner of this new scholarship will receive $5,000 to put towards PHTA and GENESIS® education and certification fees. The winner will also be honored at the PHTA Awards of Excellence Reception at PSP/Deck Expo in Las Vegas this November.
  
If you weren't able to tune in last week, PHTA Vice President of Education & Events Jeanne Mendelson was a guest on Talking Pools Podcast. Hosts Rudy (who will also be this year's keynote speaker at WAHC) and Andrea talked to Jeanne about why WAHC is a must-attend event for the pool industry. Listen today!
Calling all pool and spa service professionals! Pleatco and longtime co-sponsors GENESIS® / Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA), along with media partner AQUA Magazine, are pleased to launch the 2022 Perfect Pool Tech competition. We are looking for the best of the best pool and spa service technicians in the U.S. and Canada. Since 2007, Pleatco and their co-sponsors have been shining a spotlight on this segment of industry professionals who are more accustomed to working in the shadows. The contest is an innovative way to honor the hardworking men and women of the pool and spa service industry. We are looking forward to our best contest ever and urge everyone, even if they have entered in previous years, to nominate themselves or a colleague for the reward and recognition they so duly deserve. The nomination period closes Sunday, September 18, so fill out the form today!
