會員們:

 

美國的 “樹藝行業協會”  (Tree Care Industry Association, 簡稱TCIA,  http://tcia.org/ ), 是繼美國的 “國際樹木學會” 之後, 在北美洲的另外一個龐大樹藝組織，成立於1938年。

 

TCIA 與其他學會不同之處，是它的成員差不多全都來自從事樹藝行業的供應商和承包商，以公司身份加入，而不是個人。  TCIA 在美國的政府組織裡面長期駐派有成員存在，不停的以說客的身份去影響有關樹木法則法規的成立和通過，情況与行業商會有點相似。

 

TCIA 每年都會舉辦一次的  “行業博覽會” (TCI EXPO, http://tcia.org/events/tci-expo ) ， 其也號稱全球最大，裡面除了有最新的行業設備展覽外，也有各類會議、表演和教育項目，當中包含有 CEU 學分，而這些 CEU 都能共用於 ISA, ASCA, PLANET 等等的學會組織裡面，非常方便。

 

TCIA 本身也設有多類的樹藝証照制度，詳情可參閱 http://tcia.org/training , 考試全部只用英語。  當中的 “近電工作” (EHAP, http://tcia.org/training/ehap ) 和 “樹藝工作專業安全” (CTSP, http://tcia.org/training/ctsp ) 証照在北美洲負有盛名，許多州市政府都樂於接受和採用。

 

CAA 的使命是發展大中華地區的樹藝行業，與 TCIA 的方向有所相似。  除了 ASCA  和 IACA  以外， TCIA 也是本會的其中一個合作伙伴，雙方經常保持聯絡和相互支持。  樹藝行業是無分國界，在國際上也是百花齊放。  CAA 不停的跟隨國際主流前進，在國際上也廣交朋友，為本地區的樹藝行業發展不斷作出努力。

  

謹此致意!

会员们:

 

美国的 “树艺行业协会”  (Tree Care Industry Association, 简称TCIA,  http://tcia.org/ ), 是继美国的 “国际树木学会” 之後, 在北美洲的另外一个庞大树艺组织，成立於1938年。

 

TCIA 与其他学会不同之处，是它的成员差不多全都来自从事树艺行业的供应商和承包商，以公司身份加入，而不是个人。  TCIA 在美国的政府组织里面长期驻派有成员存在，不停的以说客的身份去影响有关树木法则法规的成立和通过，情况与行业商会有点相似。

 

TCIA 每年都会举办一次的  “行业博览会” (TCI EXPO, http://tcia.org/events/tci-expo ) ， 其也号称全球最大，里面除了有最新的行业设备展览外，也有各类会议、表演和教育项目，当中包含有 CEU 学分，而这些 CEU 都能共用於 ISA, ASCA, PLANET 等等的学会组织里面，非常方便。

 

TCIA 本身也设有多类的树艺证照制度，详情可参阅 http://tcia.org/training , 考试全部只用英语。  当中的 “近电工作” (EHAP, http://tcia.org/training/ehap ) 和 “树艺工作专业安全” (CTSP, http://tcia.org/training/ctsp ) 证照在北美洲负有盛名，许多州市政府都乐於接受和采用。

 

CAA 的使命是发展大中华地区的树艺行业，与 TCIA 的方向有所相似。  除了 ASCA  和 IACA  以外， TCIA 也是本会的其中一个合作伙伴，双方经常保持联络和相互支持。  树艺行业是无分国界，在国际上也是百花齐放。  CAA 不停的跟随国际主流前进，在国际上也广交朋友，为本地区的树艺行业发展不断作出努力。

Dear Station Members,

 

The Tree Care Industry Association (http://tcia.org) , a leading Arbor Group with history in the world, is yet another regular contact with CAA in recent years.

 

Established in 1938 as the National Arborist Association in North America, today's Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) is a trade association of more than 2,200 commercial tree care firms and affiliated companies.  Their mission is to advance tree care businesses.

 

TCIA develops safety and education programs, standards of tree care practice, and management information for arboriculture firms around the world.  Produced by arborists, for arborists, and tested in the field, TCIA regards their training material as relevant and applicable.

 

TCIA runs a Certified Tree Care Safety Professional (CTSP) program & is said to be the only safety credentialing program in the industry in North America. TCIA data shows that companies there with an employee enrolled in the CTSP program, would experience fewer accidents and injuries, less lost time and reduced costs.

 

TCIA's Electrical Hazards Awareness Program (EHAP), first introduced in 1975, has helped train thousands of arborists - those involved in line clearance and those working on residential properties near energized lines. The US Army Corp of Engineers has recognized this credential and often requires EHAP certification for companies to qualify for storm-related clean-ups.

 

TCIA’s Tree Care Academy offers a variety of courses that can be used by employers for credentialing and training of employees according to industry standards. It is designed to teach and test for critical skills and knowledge to verify the competency of employees to work safely and professionally in and around trees and equipment.

 

In addition to training, TCIA also provides continuing education, conferences and publications to promote the safe and appropriate practice of tree care.  TCI Magazine is said to be the most circulated and read publication in the industry in North America; & the TCI EXPO is known to be the world's largest tree care industry trade show and conference.  TCIA also runs a Winter Management Conference which is described as the premiere business conference for the tree care industry.

 

TCIA works to help consumers identify proper tree care and qualified tree care companies in North America.  Through TCIA's Accreditation program, consumers can find tree care companies that have been inspected and accredited based on adherence to industry standards for quality and safety; professionalism; and dedication to ethics and quality in business practices.

 

The mission of TCIA is relevant to the CAA course of advancing the Arborist Profession in the China Region, although TCIA appears to specifically focus on the contractors & suppliers section of our profession.  CAA will continue to liaise with various international groups of our profession in the world, to work jointly with them to develop our profession in our own territory.

best regards,

 

Sammy Au
