Great Year for SCA - December Message from |
What a great year this has been for me as president of the Sacramento Claims Association! While it often was a challenge to take care of my business, my family obligations and complete the duties of the SCA- it was always a pleasure to do so. I know that I echo the sentiments of all of the prior presidents when I tell you that I feel that I have received much satisfaction from my term so far. The new members of the Board of Directors will be voted upon. I am very excited at the influx of new ideas that our new board members will bring to the table. Who knows what possibilities are in store for our members? We have had a great year and I feel that there is more to accomplish in the future. In a struggling economy, we have been able to provide significant assistance to a local service organization that makes a real difference to young moms and their children. I am very proud that the SCA stepped up for a small group of dedicated people and helped them to continue their valuable work. Our vice-president, Chris Yaw, organized donations for the victims of the Auburn fires are tirelessly worked to collect and distribute the clothing, money and household goods that our people provided. The board of directors has recommitted to our mandate for education and is looking at fulfilling that promise in new ways. Last month’s speaker, Elaine Lundberg, was terrific and a delightful change of pace – providing great information in an unorthodox way. The SCA seminar that has languished in recent years is revived and planned for the spring of 2010. It is a huge commitment for the education committee but one that they hope will fill a gap in our educations and continuing education credits. It’s closing in on time to finalize the plans for the Winter Party. This is a chance for the SCA to thank the membership by throwing a fantastic party with great food and an opportunity to ‘boogie ‘til the cows come home’ at a price you couldn’t get anywhere else. There are hotel rooms on the grounds available at great rates for your convenience and face it, safety. The Lionsgate even includes breakfast if you stay the night so it really is an unbeatable deal. There are, unfortunately, a limited amount of tickets available because of the size of the ballroom so if you haven’t been able to purchase tickets for this year’s event, be sure to make your plans early for 2010 so you don’t miss out on another one. Thank you for your support this year. Don Sams |
