WICA Annual Convention This Month

Next week, members of the Western Insulation Contractors Association will convene in Santa Barbara to meet with industry partners and customers, study activities of counterparts, and examine market trends and opportunities.

Along with networking and social opportunities, attendees will have the opportunity for professional growth with Mark Matteson, this year’s Keynote and Seminar speaker. Through his inspirational messages of Freedom from Fear and It’s About TIME – as well as his humor and knowledge – all attendees will have chance to bring something home.

The second day of the convention will concentrate on members speaking with and learning from each other. The joint meeting with Contractors and Manufacturers will be kicked off with an update from the National Insulation Association. WICA will also hold its annual business meeting before having a free afternoon to enjoy the California sun.
