14 | CATT GUIDE / 2023-2024
HISTORY OF CATT CATT, the Contractors Association of Truckee Tahoe, was formed in 1998 by several contractors and suppliers who had two priorities: address the impacts of local agencies on the building trade and improve the overall professionalism within the industry. This small group realized that many others in the industry were feeling the same frustrations. CATT’s Articles of Incorporation were signed on June 24, 1998 by Mitch Clarin, Embree Cross, Patrick Flora, Robert Gelso, Richard Loverde, Brian Marsh, Ted Owens, Eric Reamer, Dennis Schlumpf, and Matt Williams. The corporation was chartered as a regional, non-profit trade association and received recognition as a tax-exempt organization. Governing bylaws established a 15-member Board of Directors who quickly began soliciting membership support. In July of 1998, the first staff person was hired and in October 1998, the first golf tournament fundraiser was held. Additionally, in 1998 CATT absorbed the Tahoe Independent Contractors Association of North Tahoe. In 2001, CATT announced an affiliation with the Nevada County Contractors Association, and other affiliations have followed, including reciprocal memberships with the North State Building Industry Association, Placer County Contractors Association, Tahoe Sierra Board of Realtors, and Nevada Builders Alliance. Over the years, CATT has become a multi-faceted organization with a variety of networking events and activities, exclusive job referrals for members and continued advocacy for the building industry. CATT created a charitable entity, CATT Community Project, to give back to the community by building and restoring community structures. CATT also sponsors CATTPAC, a registered Political Action Committee, to further the interests of the industry in the political arena.
