On February 25th, members of NUCA of North Florida and the Jacksonville Bar Association meet with members of the Duval Legislative Delegation to discuss issues concerning our associations during the upcoming legislative session. We were please to have Rep. Lake Ray, Rep. Charles McBurney and Rep. Reggie Fullwood join us along with Legislative Assistant Richard Pra.
The issues we are in support of include Local Government Construction Preferences, Public-Private Partnerships/Accompanying Public Records Exemption, Public Records Requirement for State Contractors and Public Works-Workforce Requirements - Prohibition of Project Labor Agreements. We are also concerned about the Implementation of Amendment 1 and funding for projects in our industry.
NUCA of Central Florida just celebrated Joe Weber’s 25th year of service to their chapter! During the past 25 years, Joe has worked with virtually every facet of our association and served on practically every committee and held almost every board position, including Chapter President in 1993, 2010 and 2011.
Joe always finds time out in his very busy schedule to pitch in and support NUCA of Central Florida as well as our state and national associations. He continuously supports our chapter functions financially as well as with his time and attendance. We have all benefited from Joe’s thoughtful consideration of the issues and his positive attitude.
So when you're done reading this issue, pass it along. Ask yourself who might be particularly interested in this month's articles. Give the issue to a friend, a co-worker, or a colleague. Share it with someone you've invited to a NUCA meeting.
