Thank you Jennifer for leading us this year and the board for your persistent work and passion. Thank you to the amazing staff at the BIA. Thank you for the opportunity to serve with you in this great organization. It is refreshing to be part of something bigger. As was mentioned in a Board meeting recently, we compete with each other but we come together to better our industry, ourselves and our community. And when we do come together, WOW! What an impact we make as an organization. Scholarships for students, books for students, pavilions for our service people and camps for people in need to name a few. We work diligently to educate our members, support our members through advocating attainable homes and regulating useless government impacts. We have people of impact all around us.

I remember being invited to this event over the last 25 years and to walk into a room like this and talk with Dottie (LaFitte), rub elbows with the Bagnals or Shumakers. Having a laugh with Karl (Haslinger), Stan (Beckley), and William (Godshall). As the years progressed interacting with different colleagues like Jennifer, Stan O’Brien, Mike Cancilla, Patrick Bukszar, Stan Sparling, Frank Clark, David Clark, Charlie (Weir) and now my partners Tammy and Joe Jur, was impactful.

What a great time is had at events like this.

Take the time to meet someone and start a conversation.

As we move forward into 2020 and the

coming years I would like to reflect on some people of impact that helped mold, develop and train me over the last 30 years.

To start, I remember early in my career I visited a jobsite and there was this guy sitting in a folding lounge chair with no shoes or shirt. He had a book in his hand and he was seated near a temporary electric pole to which he had a home phone plugged in. This was long before cell phones. I watched him make calls and return to reading his book. I believe it was a romance novel but was not quite sure. Later that day I saw my dad and told him this story. He asked me “did you get his name?” I said no but I thought someone called him “Buggy.” Dad laughed and said, “No not buggy, but Bugsy. He owns that company.” I knew then if a guy can sit in a chair, read and get a sun tan, then that’s the job for me. Bugsy, thanks for the talks over the years and the guidance.

You see, we all need to surround ourselves with people and organizations that make us better. People that challenge us, speak truth into us and walk beside us. People of different professions, cultures and age. Likewise, being a member of an organization that helps further your career provides opportunities for growth and dealership is paramount.

I have been truly blessed to work with people like that. Almost 30 years ago upon graduating from college I had the honor of working with Ernie Magaro. Believe me he would speak into you and wanted you to be the best. Not long after that I had the privilege of working with a man that is still impacting our industry and lives of many people.

I’m not sure he has changed much but what an impact Mike Satterfield made on me early in my career. The team at Great Southern Homes is truly blessed to have Mike as a team member. Another person of impact was Mr. Frank Clark. I remember one conversation vividly. Mr. Clark asked me how my dad was doing, and I shared with him that we were not on good terms at that point. His response was short and to the point. He said this, “I think the world of you and enjoy our

www.BIAofCentralSC.com 5

AssociationNews conversations, but until you make right with your dad then our conversations will have to stop. Nothing is bigger than you and your dad. Do it this week and let me know when you have done it.” I called my dad the next day.

I was able to spend the last 20 years working for Steven and Stewart. I was afforded opportunities to grow and lead. What an impact they had on my life. Thank you to the Mungo family There have been many people who have guided and sometimes thumped me over the head. So here is my question and challenge to you. Who are your people of influence?

Who are you seeking out to learn more about yourself, your company, or our industry? Are you learning from our associates to understand what they do? Are you learning from our trade partners to understand their challenges? Are you reading books to better understand leadership, management or self-improvement? You see, I was afforded many opportunities over the years because I sought out opportunities and asked for them.

As I look around the room tonight and see the next generation of leadership, I ask ...

Adam, Erich, Josh, Pate, RB, Mike, Patrick, Jeremy, Scott, Bailey, Andrew, Allison… who are your people of influence?

As the BIA moves into 2020 we want to

serve you! Our Builders and Associates. To assist you in personal and industry growth we will be offering workshops numerous times this year. We will provide opportunities for involvement in community projects, industry projects and government affairs. Take time to examine and see what opportunities are there for you and/or your organization.

To offer services like these, you our members, are of utmost importance. Our membership is strong, but we can be stronger. To our associates, thank you for your loyalty.

We appreciate all that you give personally and corporately. To our builders, thanks for making Columbia great. Thanks for the competition and for leading in being great corporate citizens.

My last challenge for you. Commit to get a new member this year. By making this commitment, the BIA can gain strength in numbers and grow financially, both of which are important to our overall strength. Please look for ways to “Do Business with Members” and if they are not members, ask them to join our organization.

In closing, thank you for this opportunity. A special thanks to my wife, Jamie. Thanks for being by my side and being the most important person of influence in my life.

Thank you again BIA. Happy Holiday.

Hope you have a great evening.

2020 Remodelers Member Mixer

The Remodelers Council started off 2020 at Seawell’s with a Member Mixer. We wanted to start off the new year by having everyone introduce themselves to the rest of the group and get to know each other better. Doing so will help with personal networking and help members refer business to others if asked by a client. It’s good business to do business with a member! We plan to have another Member Mixer later this year.

As this was the first meeting of the year, we installed the new leadership group for the Council. Chairman Kristen Meetze performed the installation of officers.
