The Board of Directors of the Professional Carpet & Upholstery Cleaners Association recently voted to change the name of the non-profit association to the Professional Association of Cleaning and Restoration, or PACR (pronounced "pacer.")

The Board of Directors of the Professional Carpet & Upholstery Cleaners Association voted to change the name of the non-profit association to the Professional Association of Cleaning and Restoration, or PACR (pronounced “pacer”). The Board has studied the issue for several years and determined at their annual planning meeting to take action with a name change reflecting what the members of the association actually do.

The majority of the PACR members provide services in both cleaning and restoration to various levels. The Board also felt as though the members of our association who are in the restoration industry will have more recognition with this name change and opens the possibilities of some additional growth for the organization.

We hope that our members will see more business possibilities with this new name, and look forward to an exciting future as the Professional Association of Cleaning and Restoration!
