Members Gather For Holiday Luncheon
We had a fantastic turnout for our general meeting on December 11. Led by our new President Bobby Bramlett, the meeting covered several key updates.
Chris Walker provided the CAL SMACNA update, covering topics such as the elections and the upcoming convention in Ojai, scheduled for April 23-26. A significant emphasis was placed on the Day at the Capitol and the importance of attending this year. Duane Davies added, “We understand that Day at the Capitol takes time away from your company, but not participating is more damaging.” We need to inform legislators about how their bills impact our industry.
Mark Napier presented the financial report, while Paul Irwin shared insights on the training trust and apprentices. Additionally, Sean O’Donoghue gave the pension report and discussed board nominations, which will open at the March general meeting and close at the general advisory meeting in June, with elections to follow.
The meeting concluded with Bobby Bramlett expressing heartfelt gratitude to Art Williams for his dedication and many years of service to our industry, wishing him well in his retirement. A festive lunch followed the meeting, complemented by a fun coffee and mocktail bar cart, giving everyone time to socialize before heading back to the office.
