President’s Message President Jordan Lee, Utility Service Company the PF so that we can continue to have allies here in Florida. NUCA of Florida members- fall is upon us! On the note of allies, I’d like to challenge you to do as much work as you can with fellow contractor and associate members. If there’s someone you do business with, and they sponsor an event, make it a point to say thanks for helping out the association. If you’re able to give them a better chance at getting your work, let them know-hey, since you’re a member were making it a point to do work with you over your competitor who isn’t a member. At the same time, if you have someone you’re working with a lot and they aren’t a member, find out why. Chances are, we can help them benefit in a multitude of ways. I hope that everyone has had a great summer! I hope business has been great, and that everyone has their fill of work for the upcoming quarter. I would like to thank everyone who has been involved with all the things going on with NUCA of Florida. The Presidents Cup is coming up September 20 and 21, I hope to see everyone at the board meeting and the tournament! Behind that will be the ASJ bass tournament, as I’ve said in the past, its always a great time, and I’m looking forward to the new venue. Election season is upon us, thank you to everyone who has donated to the Political Fund, we had a very successful primary regarding the people we promoted, but we still have work to do. Please join in on the Bidding for Benjamins, or donate to In closing Id like to say we’d be hard pressed to find a better group of people than this group. From our contractor members to our associate members, to our management and lobbying company, we make an awesome team. Thank y’all so much for everything you do, and please, continue doing what you’re doing to make NUCA of Florida great, and continue being the powerhouse it is. I’ll be looking forward to seeing you at the board meeting ( we have a lot to discuss), Presidents Cup, and don’t forget about the bass tournament- its what funds the Scholarship! Last thing, if you aren’t already, get involved on an event at the local level. You’d be amazed how good it feels to have an amazing event when you have a little skin in the game. And on that, at your next event- invite someone who isn’t a member to be your guest at that event. I bet they will have a blast at what ever it is, and you may just end up getting a new member! • • • AUGUST 2018 • DITCHMEN 7
