NADRA Atlanta Chapter Meeting Recap                                                                                              February 2014

We opened up the New Year with our initial meeting held at the Ivy in Buckhead last Wednesday February 26th.  It was a great turnout; we had 39 attendees sign in and it was a very strong showing of our Deck Builder members. I want to thank Jon Bailey (Vice President) and Bill Nugent (Director) with Wahoo Decks (www.wahoodecks.com ) for sponsoring the meeting and for their presentation on wahoo’s offerings with a focus on the Dry Joist and Wahoo Rail, with a presentation that showed local jobs and various install applications.  Our Guest speakers for the evening were Debbie Fitzgerald; President of Fitzgerald PR Inc. (www.fitzgeraldpr.com), and Sandy Barth; President of High Profile Group LLC. (www.gohighprofile.com). They did a great job in presenting an overview of how public relations and marketing go hand in hand.  It was very good information and our members will benefit from what we learned as we move through the year.

We started off the evening calling the meeting to order and Mike Reasons read our anti-trust statement. Ginny Tibbets then read the previous meeting minutes and we had a vote. Then we officially announced the 2014 Atlanta Chapter Committee’s:

Membership includes Ginny Tibbets, Greg Mizerak, and Dave Raught

Deck for Solider includes Scott McCawley and Dave Tibbets

Deck Safety/Code includes Mike Reasons, Steve Matrangos, and Kent Fairchild

Marketing includes James Gunning, Bryan Miller, and John Gwaltney

We look forward to our committee’s input and involvement throughout the year.  I also had an opportunity to present the 2014 board members for the upcoming year;

Greg Mizerak -Treasurer

Ginny Tibbets- Secretary

Mike Reason- Vice President

James Gunning- President.

There is a lot of work to be done and I appreciate these members taking a lead role in our chapter for 2014.

Our next meeting will be held on April the 15th.  I will be sending more details on this in the coming weeks.  Thanks again for being a part of our Chapter and each and every one of you make us successful.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

James Gunning, Atlanta Chapter President
