Scaling ProTec
IMAGINE A world where your responsibilities are streamlined and your team has access to industry experts whenever they need additional insight . It sounds like a dream , doesn ’ t it ? But this is precisely what Dave Rauch , Founder and CEO of ProTec Building Services , envisioned 27 years ago for Community Managers nationwide .
