Why Join?

As commercial painting business owners and entrepreneurs, we need to be innovative, passionate and resourceful. We understand that in business there are successes and failures. Our board of advisors and founders have had long and successful careers in the commercial painting industry. The CPIA was created to help these business owners learn from non-competing industry leaders who are actually DOING IT! Leaders like you who are in the game. Not from talking heads who have never actually built a successful commercial painting company.

The CPIA is about connecting DOERS not talkers!

Our goal is to be your Partner in Progress. In the spirit of true masterminds, we are looking for people willing to provide value to the group by openly sharing honest results directly connected to their businesses. We are about sharing, collaborating, and having an abundance mindset.

Simply put, we want people that want to give more than they get. Confidential and trusting relationships; think of your CPIA peers as your own personal board of directors. CPIA connects members in a “safe haven” environment of trust and confidentiality so they can learn from and grow together.

Testimonials

  • The CPIA is completely different than any other professional association because of its peer groups. We meet every six weeks on Zoom, and then in person during the conferences. Each group is made up of noncompeting business owners, so we never have to worry about sharing ideas and concerns. My peer group is one of my top go-tos for problem-solving and advice.
    Alyssa Sullivan, Sullivan Painting Service
  • I’m the little guy with the giants of painting at CPIA events. I’ve made relationships that are helping me tremendously.
    Kip Kirk, Paint Boss GA
  • The best interpersonal and professional experience I have ever had. Thank you so much!
    John Yuill, Caligari Gerloff
  • It was a great year to be involved with the CPIA. We made some valuable new connections and spent some quality time with old friends. As always, the networking is the highlight of it all. We’re all stronger when we collaborate to raise the bar in our industry.
    Calvin Pate, CEO, Harrison Contracting
  • CPIA started out as a monthly call to discuss business, but it has quickly turned into so much more. My peers have become my confidants and people I turn to when making decisions. Through this group of individuals I have gained knowledge, grown as a person, and become part of a family.
    Liz A. Perez-Lavin
  • The CPIA has been instrumental to keep us on course for reaching our goals during these troubling times. I find it to be a sort of brotherhood of like-minded high achievers that want to better themselves and their organizations. I can’t think of time better spent for those businesses that not only want to survive Covid but actually thrive now and for many years into the future. To be your best, I suggest you align yourself with the CPIA. Winners win.
