One of the highlights of the year is the NRLA Annual Business Meeting, which will be held on December 7, in conjunction with the LBM Expo at the Earth Expo & Convention Center, Mohegan Sun, Uncasville, Conn. This evening includes the installation of NRLA Officers and Directors for 2023-2024.
Our bylaws require NRLA to “Publish the slate of nominees to the entire membership sixty (60) days in advance of the Annual Meeting and request any further nominations.” Below is the proposed slate of NRLA Officers and Directors for 2023-2024.
Please take the time to review the proposed slate and submit further nominations to the NRLA no later than October 28, 2023. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me by phone at (518) 880-6352, or by email at rferris@nrla.org.
Thank you for your membership, and I look forward to seeing you at the LBM EXPO December 6-7 in Connecticut.
Sincerely,
Rita C. Ferris, President
