Join
If you are an independent insulation contractor it is very possible you can become part of an organization whose Membership is non-competing and openly share best practices so all the Members can benefit from what the very best independent insulation contractors are doing to improve their business.
How to Join:
NICE requires all Members to sign a confidentiality agreement.
The Board of Managers approves any new prospective Member to make sure the contractor qualifies and there is no conflict with others in the organization.
There is a financial requirement to join, and Members certainly get what they pay for. The benefits of the organization far exceed the financial requirement to join. Is it worth the investment? Call one of our Members and ask them. They are the best source of honest opinion.
Once you have signed the confidentiality agreement details of the benefits of National Insulation Contractors' Exchange Membership will be shared with you.
If you are interested in becoming a Member, please call Mike Clements, Executive Director, at (904) 491-3112.
