Associates:  Once again we ask that you bring a raffle item, whether it's a plumbing tool, tool kit, tv, gift certificate or whatever you deem appropriate.  As you know many of the visitors are Mechanical Skills students; the prizes were a BIG hit last year.

Contractors:  Please email Ann at [email protected] or [email protected] of your intention to attend the Vendors Fair so that we can firm up the food order.  Also, we're suggesting that you bring canned goods since you don't have to pay for the event.  This way we can pay it forward in a small way pre Easter to a worthy food drive.
Be sure to send in your registration form to Ann asap at [email protected] to take part in this popular annual event. 

President's Letter  

 

Dear GIPHCC Friends,

 

Once again our associate members demonstrated their commitment to the Greater Indianapolis PHCC.  Sue Bard with Aflac, Andy Warren with Shepherd Insurance, Tanner Justice with Federated, Chris Moore with Old National, and Dave Rocchio with Rocchio-Kiley.  These professionals took time out of their busy schedules to meet with our membership at our last luncheon at Primo's.  They worked to help us understand some of the challenges facing us all in 2016 and beyond.  Thank you to each of you and your guests for your participation.  It was very helpful and greatly appreciated.

 

We are looking forward to a very strong showing at our upcoming Vendors Fair at Eagle Creek Golf Course on March 9th.  Many of our associate members will be on hand to participate.  I'm sure it will be a fun and educational experience for everyone.  We hope to see each of you there.  This event will be a great opportunity to network with our vendors and learn more about the products they represent.

 

In a recent IN State PHCC meeting, I learned that on a state level our contractor membership has been growing year over year since 2012.  Each year more contractors in our industry see the value of being involved in an organization that is working hard to improve the industry.  This is a positive trend for our contractor and associate membership.  It is also a great opportunity for our membership to be involved in an organization which is working to help shape its own future.  Years ago I was told that one of the first rules of business is "You have to be there".  I hope you will plan to be involved in the many functions your Greater Indianapolis PHCC chapter is planning in 2016.  Speaking personally, I understand the organization needs people like me.  I also realize people like need this organization.

 

Get Involved!  Stay Involved!

 

As always, please remember to support our associate members.  They do so much to make our organization a success.  You can find a comprehensive list of these fine vendors on the GIPHCC website http://www.giphcc.com/category/assoc-members/.

 

Thank you,

   

Brian Lebo,

GIPHCC President
