President and First Lady Rob and Tammy Springer welcomed FRSA members into their home the Thursday evening of the quarterly Board and Committee meetings. Mike Reed, Burt Logan, Gary Register, Bob Mahoney and Don Springer enjoyed dinner and good conversation.
Executive Committee The committee reviewed December 31, 2013 FRSA and Services Corp Audited Financial Statements, discussed the impending move of the FRSA office to a new location, listened to a staff review update, and looked closely at plans for the upcoming 2014 Convention. The fifth Edition of the Roof Tile Manual was discussed along with the newly established Young Contractors Council. A decision was made to postpone the biannual Strategic Plan Review until later in the year and it was agreed that the committee would attend the Educational Foundation meeting the next day to ask the trustees to sponsor the training center at the new FRSA location for the first year it is operating.
Governmental Affairs The committee heard an FRSA Political Action Committee (PAC) financial report, discussed the change of the FRSA PAC from a Committee of Continuous Existence (CCE) to a Political Committee and looked over a report prepared by Legislative Counsel Cam Fentriss. Fentriss noted that there was not much to report at this meeting which occurred prior to the beginning of the 2014 legislative session, but that FRSA should remain diligent in looking for issues that may arise. A request was made for a definitive statement from FRSA on our position on roof top mechanical equipment to be used as an aid by State Representative Keith Perry, an FRSA member, in composing legislation
