EDITORIAL
Recently the delicate
balancing/juggling act I’ve referenced in past editorials
knocked me down. My Dad required surgery and that took priority
to my “life schedule.” Jobs were rescheduled, meetings missed or
postponed and family plans were put on hold. The reason I
mention this in the editorial is twofold: I’m grateful for the
SCECA officers, Board members and support staff that provided
member support as needed; Association business went on
relatively smoothly. The question is what about your
business?
If you do not have contingency plans or even some type of
business interruption insurance, what happens? Some of us have a
key employee or colleague upon whom we can depend. Like a fire
drill, you never really think the worst can happen, but it’s
best to go through a dry run and be prepared.

The prediction that you and your
Association must become more politically involved is coming to
fruition. There are areas of concern in Suffolk County as well
as townships such as Smithtown which we must address. We are
attempting communication with “the powers that be,” but may need
your direct participation in the near future.
Please make it a point to come out to meetings and visit
or website for updates. Speaking of updates, we need your valid
e-mail address, so we might contact you. See you on February 15;
stay warm!
Finally, proposed revisions to our Constitution & By-laws can be
found in this issue. Any General (Contractor) member in good
standing can offer additional proposal(s), all to be voted on at
our March General Meeting.
