We just wrapped up our annual summer convention, and it was a blast! Great speakers, fantastic food, a wonderful venue, and all in the beautiful city of Boston. I always walk away from these events enthused and rejuvenated, having spent time with my peers and other professionals who are looking to improve their businesses. If you were there, you know what I’m talking about. Be on the lookout for information on the 2023 convention in San Antonio, you won’t want to miss it!

During this year’s meeting, I was elected as the new association president. I’m humbled, honored, and excited to step into this new role. I want to thank Doug Herbert for his incredible leadership over the last two years. Doug not only had a great vision for the association, but he also had the energy and work ethic to see it through. I can assure you that Jim Baty, the CFA staff, the Executive Board, and the Board of Directors are all committed to improving our industry.

It’s no secret that running a business is difficult, especially now. The perpetual white waters of change and the constant whirlwinds of the day-to-day can distract us from what we love to do. If you are a poured-wall contractor, you are not alone! If this is you, I would encourage you to join our CFA Best Practice groups every month. These virtual meetings are designed to give us a platform to target and discuss these issues. Also, you may want to check out our Expert Connect. This is a tool on our website that can get you in contact with someone in our industry who can either help or point you in the right direction. These are just two ways we are trying to help our industry. We build better businesses together. 

I’d welcome your feedback. If you see areas we need to improve, or if you would like to get more involved, please send me an email. I’m excited to serve the CFA these next two years.

Best Regards
