Southeast Networking Event Update
We couldn't have asked for a better evening!
Heath Bowman summed it up perfectly when he wrote:
Old friends and new friends alike had an awesome evening at the Governor's Gun Club for networking, dinner, and a good old-fashioned shooting contest.
With the top names in our business lending their expertise, the North American Deck and Rail Association is at the forefront of all things related to deck building, deck code, and innovation in the industry. Groups like this keep us plugged into the cutting edge of our work, learning about new products and new insights in our field. It's one of the ways that we stay at the top of our game.
If you're looking at getting a deck built, or are a deck builder looking for a new place to plug in, check out how NADRA can help you.
Big thanks to all our industry friends, old and new, for coming out and being a part of such a fun night!!
We hope to see you at our next event in Flemington, NJ! (See below for details)
