Autumn is typically the busiest season for us here at COHBA. After having just wrapped up another successful Parade of Homes, we move immediately into our membership drive, quarterly meetings, as well as planning for next year.

I have been encouraged recently at the success of our networking events. Last week we enjoyed a very good Cocktails with COHBA event hosted by our friends at Wilshire Cabinet and hosted over 100 associate members at our Associate Appreciation Barbecue.

You may not realize it, but there’s a method to our madness when it comes to creating engagement here at COHBA. Over the last two years, we have revamped our social media efforts and created several new events to engage our membership and bring associating back into our association. We try to have valuable speakers, education and networking and I think we have done a great job of that this year. Here’s the catch, it only works if you participate.

October’s General Membership Meeting is a Casino Night. We will have several live casino games with real tables and real dealers. Chip leaders will win prize money at the end of the night. I hope you can make it.

Additionally, look for more information about the COHBA Sponsorship Campaign. We will be unveiling the Sponsorship packet in a few days that contains every COHBA sponsorship available to COHBA Members. The first day for the Campaign will be October 16. For those that don’t know, the Sponsorship Campaign allows any COHBA member to sell a certain amount of sponsorships and qualify for an all expenses paid trip. We want as many participants as possible to help make it successful! Look for more details this month!

I am excited at the trajectory of our association. And am excited to head into the new year with new ideas and new energy. As always, thank you for allowing me to serve as your EO.
