October Meeting Recap
WABA held its October GMM last Tuesday at South Ridge Apartments. WABA Board President, Bob Horab updated the membership on all of the latest association news, including, upcoming events, sponsorship opportunities, online membership payment system and more. 

One of the most exciting announcements of the evening was the collaboration between WABA and the City of Williston. We were so fortunate to have City Administrator David Tuan attend and speak to the membership. Mr. Tuan discussed the recent staffing changes within the Building Department and how the City is looking at restructuring the Building Department and Planning/Zoning departments. He also touched on how the City is looking forward to working with the association.

EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY!
Construction Contracts and Law – Live Online Course (Nov. 7th, 14th, 21st)
Many construction or remodeling companies are too small to hire full-time legal staff, so it's important to understand basic contract law.

This course provides a step-by-step explanation of how contracts sustain positive customer and supplier relations, provide for resolution of disputes and minimize the risk of litigation.

You will learn about mandatory and optional provisions, warranties and arbitration procedures. Special emphasis is given to troubleshooting contracts for detrimental positions.

The course takes place over three consecutive Tuesdays from 1-3 p.m. ET (12-2 p.m. ET)
Registration is open until 3 p.m. CT (2 p.m. CT) on Monday, Nov. 6.

Member Price: $199.00
Nonmember Price: $299.00
