EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S MESSAGE
|
Scholarship Dinner Huge Success!
We did it! The Scholarship Dinner was a great success with 240 people in attendance! We were able to bring the community together to work toward better workforce development programs and honor those who have chosen to make the skilled trades their career of choice. Through silent auction items and monetary donations, over $10,000.00 was raised to fund next year's scholarships.
In addition to all of the people that took the time to come out and support the event, I also want to recognize Northern Building Supply, Bay Area Contracting, the IBEW/NECA, Britten Studios and NMC for their generous sponsorship.
The big question is....Who had the winning bid for the Playhouse, constructed by the Professional Women in Building and several builder members? Dean and Trisha Adams! Congratulations!!
Thank you all for your patience during the silent auction checkout. The HBA staff has already met to develop an expedited checkout process for next year. Your feedback and ideas for next year are always welcome.
Sincerely;
Judy Vajda, Executive Officer
