Message from your BIAOC President...

Happy Halloween! I truly cannot believe it is already November. October has been a busy month for the BIA.

This month we started off with BIASC's BIS at Pechanga, and not only did I attend, but I had a blast! BIS really made a comeback this year and I would like to thank Jeff Montejano and the rest of the BIASC staff for making that happen. If you missed it this year make sure to check out the photos and recap video.

The following week was our BITA Wine Event at Monark Showroom in Costa Mesa. With all of our generous sponsors, 200 attendees, and some amazing raffle prizes and silent auction items, we raised $15,000 for the Building Industry Technology Academy. This 4-year program prepares high school students to enter into the labor force following graduation. Thank you for helping the future of our industry!

Next month we will be installing our BIAOC 2019 President Rick Wood with TriPointe Homes and the 2019 Board of Directors. Help us in honoring them by Sponsoring and/or attending Saturday, November 17th at the Pasea Hotel in Huntington Beach. I hope to see you there!

Finally, I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Halloween with your family and friends!
