President's Message By Art Rectenwald, President, Rectenwald Brothers Construction aDVISORY BOaRD Chuck Barnes - Barnes & Associates Jason Miller - JCPenny Company Scott Blyze Steven R. Olson - CESO Inc. Dave Gearing - GEAR Management Fall is upon us, and for many of us that signals the last push of what has been a very busy year. Good luck with your projects and stay safe on the jobsite! The RCA Board met in Nashville last month for its summer meeting. We were pleased to have seven of our Advisory Board members join us, among them two of our newest Advisory Members: Jeffrey Mahler of L2M, Inc. and Lynn Robbins of Art Rectenwald Office Max. These industry representatives share their views on the current state of the industry as well as provide input and insight on RCA's programs and services. We greatly appreciate the time they take to support the mission and goals of the RCA. At the Board meeting, we reviewed and approved a new member: Buildrite Construction Corp and I would like to welcome them to the RCA. In addition, Mike Wolff, Hunter Weekes and Matthew Schimenti were appointed to the Board of Directors Nominating Committee and are working to prepare the election slate. Ballots will be distributed to the membership in October. Another result of the Board meeting was the appointment of a task force to review and evaluate the impact of our scholarship program (which is also highlighted in this newsletter). I encourage you to keep in touch and up to date with us. We send a monthly email bulletin that includes announcements, member news, new members, and event updates. You can be added to our mailing list by sending a request to info@retailcontractors.org and you can join our group on LinkedIn. Save the date for our Annual Meeting: March 14-16 at the Gaylord Texan, prior to SPECS. Watch your inbox for more details and plan to join us for a weekend of professional development and networking opportunities.
