Building Succession
The success of our association depends on the success of our leadership team. After all, when you have a team of committed, focused, and open-minded chapter leaders, you can be confident that your company, your interests, and your desire to succeed (both as a contractor and as an associate member) will be respected.
Our chapter and board of directors reads like a professional sports team. We have contractors that specialize in dealing with public works projects, contractors that are social media experts, contractors that have years of state trophy awards from their incredible teamwork, associate members who go the extra mile to make every event they help put together a success, and our marketing guru that works so hard to get our message out to all our chapter members and potential regular and associate members.
We have board members that give of themselves each month to help keep our finances straight and our monthly meeting agendas and minutes in order. We have board members who have served our country honorably and now serve our chapter and state membership with pride and commitment. We have current and past board members that, if called upon, will be there to help give encouragement or consultation on any issues that we may have to deal with.
By having such a diversified team of professionals, I feel really confident in our OC chapter future and our future in the green industry.
That said, building a succession of strong leadership is also important. This means encouraging our new members and old-schoolers alike to step up to the plate to take their turn at bat – which can in many cases eventually lead to a home run, or can at least keep us in the game, which is the goal of every team leader. Needless to say, I am very proud of our team and look forward to the new members that will choose to step up and commit to our group of successful, positive-minded individuals. See you on the trails. ~ Ed , OC Chapter President
