As I write my last President’s Message, I cannot help but reflect back on this past fiscal year.  The association has made some great accomplishments under my leadership, which would not have been possible without the assistance of my colleagues. 

The NASCLA Model Legislation Committee has made tremendous progress on the model legislation for residential contractor boards.  There is already state interest in utilizing the model for implementation of a new state residential contractor board.  The committee goal is to have the draft model at the NASCLA 2008 Annual Conference and a final model developed by the NASCLA 2009 Mid Year Meeting.

The NASCLA Membership Committee has obtained over 20 new memberships since 2007.  The newest state member is the Texas Residential Construction Commission, they are spotlighted on page 6.  It is our goaled to have 50 states join by our 50th Anniversary, which will be in 2012.

The NASCLA Executive and Fiscal Policies and Procedures Committee Members met in Phoenix, Arizona on June 23-24 for our Annual Budgeting Meeting along with the NASCLA National Examination Committee.  The NASCLA National Examination Committee made the decision to have an open book examination for the National Examination for Commercial General Contractors.

The NASCLA Publications Committee obtained two new state specific publications for the NASCLA Contractor Guide to Business, Law and Project Management books.  The committee has been very proactive in implementing new policies and procedures for continued growth. 

It is with great pleasure that I conclude my presidential term in my home state of Alabama!  I am looking forward to welcoming y’all to NASCLA’s 46th Annual Conference in Point Clear on September 14-17, 2008!

Sincerly,

Kathy LeCroix
NASCLA President
