Meeting & SoCal Dinner Gathering Recap
January 12th, the CSA Board of Directors met in Rancho Cucamonga, for a regularly scheduled board meeting. Many board members plus Jeff Aran, CSA Legal Counsel, Executive Director Roy Flahive, and Director of Member Services Cheryl Flahive were in attendance. The subject matter addressed at the meeting included Committee Reports, Membership Growth, and excitement over the recent developments with CSA’s Sign Training & Education Program Series “STEPS.”
Following the Board Meeting, and a brief recess with cold drinks in hand, thirty-five people sat down for a wonderful Italian dinner and networking at the Old Spaghetti Factory. The room was buzzing as all those in attendance enjoyed the comradery of fellow industry movers and shakers. Then attendees listened carefully as they were brought up-to-speed on the pending lawsuit pertaining to site plan services. Factors addressed were whether the plans are done in-house or through outsourcing, presented by Roy Flahive and Jeff Aran. In addition to receiving information on the site plan situation, legal and legislative topics were discussed, and updates to upcoming calendar events were outlined.
