Annual Dinner Brings 100+ Members Together
The Bay Area SMACNA’s Annual Dinner and Officer Installation is a highly anticipated occasion among the members of our organization. We had a great turnout this year, with more than 100 contractor and associate members in attendance. The event was held at the Meritage Resort and Spa in Napa, which offered a refreshing change from the traditional venue in San Francisco.
The evening began with a warm welcome from Sean O’Donoghue, Executive Vice President of Bay Area SMACNA. He introduced outgoing President Keith Atteberry, who shared the organization’s achievements from this past year. He also expressed gratitude to the Bay Area staff for their support. Todd Hill, SMACNA National Secretary-Treasurer, then took the stage to share SMACNA’s accomplishments and goals for the future.
The highlight of the evening was the introduction of 2024 Bay Area President Duane Davies. He shared his vision for the organization in the upcoming year and encouraged members to inspire the younger generation to get involved. He then presented the 2023 Lonnie Michael III Achievement
Award to Rich Buckley, President of Anderson, Rowe and Buckley, in recognition for his outstanding leadership and contributions to the sheet metal industry. We would also like to congratulate all incoming Board members: Sheri Learmonth, Marina Mechanical; Mike MacDonald, North Bay Commercial Services; Jon Mohs, AGC, Inc.; Jessica Pact, Martinez Mechanical Sheet Metal; and Scott Peterson, Peterson Mechanical. We are excited to add their experience to our Board and work with them in the coming year!
The Annual Dinner is more than an opportunity for members to network and socialize — it’s a chance to celebrate the season with colleagues and friends. We hope everyone who attended had a great time and left the event feeling inspired and rejuvenated.
