2023 SMACNA Annual Convention
During the annual business meeting, safety awards were presented, Paul Irwin was elected to the National Board and Randy Attaway received an award as an outgoing Board member for all his years of service. Our new National president, Carol Duncan, highlighted her vision for the upcoming year and covered various topics, including workforce needs, expanding educational programs, improving website accessibility, engaging more members and building stronger Chapters. She also emphasized the importance of innovation, technology, marketing and communication, as well as the need to recruit and retain new tradespeople.
Our Bay Area SMACNA Chapter Night was held at The Vault of Scottsdale, which houses a collection of rare vehicles for car enthusiasts. Our members had a great time perusing and learning about these vehicles. The event also provided an excellent opportunity for our contractor and associate members to network and get to know each other better.
The convention featured several educational sessions, including presentations on the latest technologies and tools in the HVAC industry, as well as updates on regulatory changes. Attendees gained valuable insights and knowledge from these sessions, which they could take back to their respective companies and implement in their work.
Overall, the SMACNA Annual Convention was a huge success, providing a platform for members to connect, learn and have fun. We look forward to next year’s convention in Palm Desert, California!
