What You Missed...  If you weren't at our March meeting you missed a great table top from Plumbers Supply with new info on Specified Technologies and Lochinvar. Especially compelling was the video shown by Federated Insurance on Distracted Driving. Those in attendance will definitely think twice about texting and driving. Thanks to Lee Martin for a great presentation!

Message From The President
 Dear Friends:
This is my last letter as President of the GIPHCC. It has truly been an honor to serve this great organization. I brag about the closeness of this group, about how if you need anything you can turn to a fellow contractor. I do believe that this is where the best of the best belong. I would like to thank our board for all their hard work and dedication. I would like to thank Ann Booth, Brenda Dant, and Susie McFarland for working all the time to make this organization professional and current. Our association members are outstanding, always willing to help and to go the extra mile. I say it all the time; support those who support our industry.
Get involved. You make this association great. We need great leaders. You have what it takes, you obviously care about our industry and want to make it better. Step up and don't be afraid. We all make time for the things that are important to us.
Come to the golf outing on May 17th and the Indiana Convention on September 21st to connect with your fellow contractors and those wonderful associate members. Take time to network, to learn, and to have fun.
Signing off,
Laura Ciriello-Benedict,
GIPHCC President
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln |
