Executive Officer Announcement

Greetings All!

As 2025 comes to a close I want to thank each of you for your support of our association. I enjoy getting to know you and look forward to seeing your smiling faces at our events. I look forward to getting to know you even better at our many wonderful events in 2026.

I especially want to thank the Board of Directors for the respect and kindness they give to my position and to me on a personal level. They truly are instrumental in the happiness of an Executive Officer, and I am grateful for their love and support - THANK YOU!

In 2026 we are starting a weekly Social Media Member Highlights Series! I hope to share at least 1 highlight a week on our Facebook & Instagram feeds. Your highlights can be major accomplishments or minor wins, a favorite project or recent achievement. Don’t forget to attach your company logo and picture to be included in the post! Highlights will be posted each Monday, please have your highlight to me by close of business the Friday before. Simply complete the Member Highlights Form and email it to me with your company logo and a professional or group picture.

If you have not registered for our Oyster Roast on January 8th, please do so by January 1st to ensure enough oysters are ordered for the event. Not an oyster eater? No problem! Charlie Belue with D & D Motors will be making homemade Chili and we will also have Chicken Stew from the Beacon. Come hungry! Register here.
