“Building on 50 Years of Innovation” EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Executive Vice President Brian Hofler
Social Events “bookend” Q4 & Q1 of fiscal years
The schedule of events, both social and business, that occur during the four quarters that comprise RCABC’s fiscal year, is dictated in part by the cyclical nature of the industry, RCABC’s year end (August 31) and annual audit, as well as preparation for the meetings governed by the association bylaws and legal requirements that lead up to the AGM in December. Association business between Q4 and Q1 (June - November) may be slower in some departments at the beginning of Q4 (i.e. education and training) and busier in others (i.e. technical) due to the fact that roofing contractors and their apprentices are busy on the job. Q4 essentially begins with the last Board meeting of the fiscal year at which time budgets are reviewed and approved for next fiscal. As well, RCABC staff provides the Board with insight regarding projects in progress and / or any issues that may require input from the Executive during the summer months. The Lower Mainland Golf Tournament (pictures on following pages) is scheduled to coincide
with this meeting which essentially kicks off the summer season. In a similar fashion, Q1 (September through November) begins with the Regional Golf Tournament (held this year at the Harvest in Kelowna). This social event serves as a backdrop for the first meeting of the Board for fiscal 2011. At that time the agenda will include information on events, activities and issues that have been percolating during the summer months as well as suggested plans for association business in the new year. With that as an introduction, this is an opportune time for me to provide RCABC Members with an overview of the activities that have been taking place during the summer months as well as future initiatives and information that may have an impact on individual business plans as well as the direction of the association.
PHASE 3 - IS IT FINISHED YET? I never thought that I would be asking that question but I have to admit that this has been a s i g n i f i c a n t undertaking, one that I will be happy to have completed. Having said that it is truly, as the Zalm would say, faaaaaaannnnnnntastic. The pictures (Continued on page 2)
