The Mechanical Contracting Education & Research Foundation (MCERF) will welcome CPMCA and Ferguson as the two newest members of its Partnership Enterprise at MCAA 2006. (Partnership Enterprise donors are those who have donated at least $100,000 to the Foundation.) MCERF President Robert W. FitzGerald will officially welcome representatives from the CPMCA and from Ferguson to the Partnership Enterprise during the Awards of Excellence Breakfast on March 22. FitzGerald said, "Partnership Enterprise members are the eyes and the ears of industry; they tell the Foundation about the new and critical industry issue...which research we should be funding, which education efforts we should underwrite. CPMCA is one of our largest and most progressive affiliated associations and Ferguson is a leader in the supplier field to our industry...they will help us and make us all better."
