PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

 

A Message from the President…

By: Charlie Poterek

Our Program Chair Rob Durning has made arrangements for a field trip to the Dukane Precast Facility in Aurora, August 7th.  The day will consist of a morning tour of the plant, then lunch and a short General Meeting, followed by an afternoon inspection of a job site where a precast assembly is being installed.  This should be a very informative day as many of these products are being specified and subsequently used more and more in buildings throughout our communities. This is an excellent opportunity to see them first hand in the production stage and then in real field conditions.  Please take time to read more about our meeting times and locations in this newsletter and on our website at www.NWBOCA.org .

Plans are under way for NWBOCA’s Fall School in November at Harper College.  Rob Durning (our busy Program Chair) has been arranging excellent speakers and programs.  The dates are the first three Thursday’s in November, the 6th, 13th, & 20th.  Information about class subjects will be presented in next month’s newsletter.

If you are interested in volunteering for a position on the NWBOCA Board, a soon to be formed Nominations Committee would like to know.  Although there is real a time commitment, I’m sure any current or past Board member would tell you it was well worth the time and effort.  Keep in mind this organization is as strong as its volunteers.  Please contact our Vice President, John Jones, for information on becoming a member of either the Nominations Committee or the Board
