To keep with the tradition of my previous messages - I am going to gush about Metro’s involvement in yet another mind-boggling event! My mind is still spinning from attending the NAHB Spring Leadership Meeting in DC. My goal was to have 10 attendees from Metro and we absolutely nailed it! Words cannot describe the pride I feel about being a part of a local that seized the day (or the week to be exact) like we did. The extent to which our presence there elevated Metro, NJBA, New Jersey, and us individually is yet to be seen but the immediate feeling is that we are MORE VISIBLE and HEARD. Isn’t that the whole idea behind this? My hope is that we will go in next year with our game faces on with an even bigger presence and impact. It would be a shame to not build upon the foundations we are building there. If I have any legacy from my term as your President, I would like it to be that we have a working procedure in place to maximize this annual event. We have a workbook for all our big events so why not this (I smell a new committee being formed……). We also are fresh off AOE. What a night!! Congratulations to all the winners and a huge THANK YOU to the Committee and especially Franz and Kristie . Just in case you were wondering the entries were up 25% this year and the attendees were up 38%. A round of applause to you and your efforts. This gets better and better every year, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds. We have plenty to do before our next big fundraiser which is the golf outing. Speaking of which, remember when I pulled my cousin out of high school so our foursome could win? Well, he just graduated college and can make it this year, so I do believe Bill and I have another big win coming to us in October! Drop the mic…….
