What Are You Getting from Your CLCA Membership?

I am very thankful to be a part of this great association. I recently found myself in the hospital due to COVID complications. While there, many chapter and state members reached out to me to make sure I was ok. It felt good to know so many cared about my well-being. I have to admit, it was a bit scary. Being young and in good shape, I didn’t think the virus would have that kind of impact on me. What I learned is that the virus does not discriminate what-so-ever. That said, take care of yourself and your health.

I am saddened to report that we had to make the tough decision to push our Beautification Awards to next year. It is unfortunate that we were not able to receive enough entries from a large enough variety of contractors. As a leading chapter in the state, it is our duty to maintain the integrity of our awards program. It is our hope that next year we will get more participation from all of our contractor members. In the meantime, you can still participate at the state level and take a trip to Maui for CLCA’s Annual Convention, November 3-6. Their Trophy Awards are held on November 5 and will feature winners from across the state.

Our recent sportfishing adventure was phenomenal. It was a small but fun-filled event. All who attended caught fish and enjoyed complimentary breakfast and lunch thanks to CLCA Insurance Solutions who sponsored the galley. If you missed out, don’t worry! Our team is hard at work putting together more events. Our next social event will be on September 4 at the Angels Stadium in Anaheim. This annual event, where we tailgate and enjoy a night at the ballpark, is always a fun time!

Lastly, I would like to know what benefits you are reaping from your CLCA membership. Truth is, we reap many of the benefits without even realizing it. Having an awareness of the benefits you’re receiving is important for you to see the value of your membership. Need help seeing the benefits? Give me a call! I’m sure that after a short chat, I could help you see what you may not see. At the state level, CLCA is continuously working to enhance our industry with a greater purpose. Behind the scenes, there are teams constantly working hard to move our industry forward in many different facets. I hope that going forward, we can all move towards that greater purpose in unity.

For this month’s book, I encourage you to read, The Cashflow Quadrant, by Robert Kiyosaki.
