My time has come

[Brian Briggs]

As of May 1st I will no longer be the Trade Show Director. However, I will be an active part of the trade show committee and of this great organization. The BOD met last year and it was decided that in 2016 we would replace 3 members of the board. Since I am the longest sitting director currently on the board it only makes sense for me to be one of the first three to step down.

We have had a wild ride and will continue to excel ourselves, our organization and our industry. I do not post nearly as much as I use to, mainly because who wants to hear how we did it 8+ years ago . However, I try to chime in when it is pertinent. I will no longer be in the members area but you can always reach me trough PM, email, cell or the Gran Quartz room.

Your workshop was the first one I ever went to
and that trip sparked my interest in the Sfa !
A lot of fun times , thanks for all your help and assistance over the
years !!

[Darryl Miller]

Brian, your workshop was my first one ever as well. Since we first met you have always treated me like you had known me a long time. Thanks for all of the work you have done to build this organization to where it is now. Those will be big shoes to fill as well.

[Todd Luster]

Brian,
You have been a great asset to the board as well as the organization since its inception.
You have also been a great friend.
Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do for the industry!

I am so glad for all our memories together.. Now its time for making more when they your don't have to worry about your conduct as a director!!!

I will always remember walking large rooms of people I didn't know there was your smiling face and it was always so happy and smiling!

Thank you for all your hard work, dedication and support. Now don't stop just because you don't have a fancy title.

[kevinp]

Thanks Brian!

[Matt Lansing]

Hey Brian, you have been always been a great champion for the SFA, always wearing its colors proudly and willing to tell everyone about the organization and what it means and should mean to anyone in the stone industry.j

You have done a great job with the trade show planning, organizing and execution. You had an answer for any question that was brought up or immediately knew where to go to get the answer. Your tireless service was instrumental in the image the SFA portrayed at the shows.

Thank you for your service!

[Carmine Pantano]

I hate to hear this, but understand. Thank you for everything you have done! But glad it's not the end and we'll still be seeing you around. PLUS... I plan on hitting some Muddin events with you at some point!!!

[Eric R]

Wow.

Thanks Brian for all your hard work!

Also, it shouldn't go without saying that Christina was a great help too! I saw her at nearly every event I attended and she was always helping, so many thanks to both of you and I look forward to seeing you two around again!

[Brian Briggs]

Christina's role with the SFA has not changed. She will still be working the booth at the trade shows and helping out the directors as needed. As for me, I will be around as well, on the site I will be active on the trade show committee and at the shows, just wearing a different shirt .
