The CFA Board of Directors will be holding their Spring meeting Friday morning to approve the budget for FY2026-27 and update all on the advancing elements of the Vision and Goals for the Association in this calendar year.
Not attending the Board meeting? Consider sticking around and arranging further tours with the host members, or, head home full of information to continue evolving and challenging your business.
These leadership retreats offer a rich combination of meeting owners and key personnel from contracting companies, consultants, manufacturers and suppliers from across the country. It is intentionally kept small so that networking can be intimate and personal, allowing you to get to know a finite group, and to make sure the group can easily get around to construction sites and contractor businesses.
Ask anyone attending this event since its restart in 2023 and they will affirm how valuable it is to gather with peers, share your stresses, identify innovation, and collaborate on the future.
Non-member participation is unavailable. For interest in CFA membership and participation, email Trenton Baty, Membership & Marketing Director.
