LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
BRIDGING THE Generational Gap Together In a few weeks the NCBIA will be holding our March General Membership Meeting. This meeting will be like nothing that we have ever done before, and I am so excited to see how it turns out! As you have probably seen on the flyer, we are doing a “Clash Of The Generations” panel discussion. Now what does this mean exactly? Are we going to have to have some of our veteran members get in a cage match battle with some of our young professionals? I can think of a few veteran members that might get a kick out of that but no, that’s not at all what it means! What it means is that our panel will be made up of 3 veteran members and 3 young professionals. They will be fielding questions across a wide array of categories such as marketing, communications, crisis management, business tips and trick, and some myths and legends about the different generations! We will even open the discussion to members of the audience where you can ask your questions! You do NOT want to miss this event!

I truly feel this event is a HUGE thing for the North Coast Building Industry Association. Not only will we get to have some great conversations and learn from each other, but we will strengthen the relationship between the young professionals and some of our more seasoned members. I grew up in this association; many of our veteran members have known me since before I could walk. I consider a lot of these members to be my advisors and mentors now. We have so many new, young professional members that have joined the association over the past couple years, so I truly hope that they can look to our veteran members for the save advice and mentorship! I am sure by now you are wondering who our “expert” panel will be made up of! Representing the veteran members, we have Chris Majzun, Jr. from Majzun Construction, Jeff Hensley from Lake Star Building & Remodeling, and John Toth from Floor Coverings International. For the young professionals, we have Maria Sabala from Genevieve Lyle Media Group, Mike Gidich from MDG Maintenance & Handyman Services, and Jon Sherer From K. Hovnanian Homes. With this great group of “expert” members, I feel that we are going to have some great discussions as well as a few laughs along the way! I want to encourage you to attend this event on Tuesday the 16th at Ahern's in Avon Lake. Come learn from the different generations we have as well as ask your questions to get a better insight on how we can all work together to make the building industry the best it can be!
