38 • DECEMBER 2013 • WORLD FENCE NEWS Subcontractor working agreements continued from page 36 III. For projects 07 – Subcontractor Application for Payment – (Schedule C.) 08 – Subcontractor acknowledgement of payment and release of lien. 09 – Subcontractor's work and contract price - (Schedule A.) As I mentioned last month, I will be presenting educational seminars on the topic of "Working Smart" and developing a subcontractor work agreement policy at next year's FENCETECH2014 show in Las Vegas. During these educational seminars I will present workshops on these topics and will offer free handouts detailing exactly how to establish all of these procedures in your fence company. If possible, please plan to attend. These will be very worthwhile educational seminars and I would encourage every fence industry manager or other interested party to make every effort to be there.

He has conducted business seminars as part of the edu- cational programs at the FENCETECH and Jackpot conventions.
