July 2019 Message from MVCA President, Bryan Harrison

We had quite the festive Summertime Beach Party golf tournament June 27th.

Thanks to everyone who supported the event, all those who played, and all our sponsors. Huge shout out to our MVCA Board member and Golf Chair, Eric Gacutan, for all his tremendous commitment to bringing a successful event to fruition.

MVCA Secretary, Liza Wisecarver, played a big role in putting this together, as well. We also had some good help from new board member, Mike Jones, and, last minute push and evening raffle queen, Jennifer Pinney. Jen has been instrumental in numerous ways leading the industry through her work with the associations. She is not only the president of our sister organization, the East Bay Claims Association, but is the President two-years running of the Claims Conference of Northern California. She brings an infectious enthusiasm to the endeavors she supports.

For this month, we are continuing with the Summertime Fun theme. Please join us for our first MVCA BINGO BONANZA this Friday, July 19th, at our normal luncheon gathering at Dave Wong’s. We are asking members to bring a raffle prize to contribute for Bingo winners.

Not yet a member for 2019?! Perfect! Sign up today on our site and receive the discounted luncheon rate. Our 2019 Membership Drive is in full swing!

August 27-29th is CCNC. Have you registered yet?

Respectfully,

Bryan
