SFA

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.

Thanks Brian for everything you have done for me and the Sfa , and I'm
sure the things will do in the future .you know you cannot get out that easy
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 !!

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.

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!

Thanks for your time and great work. Again those will be some big shoes to fill.

Brian, Thanks for your many countless hours and dedicated years of service!
The SFA is a much better place because of your guidance and hard work.

Briggsy... Briggsy Briggsy

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.

Dustin , Thats not very nice

Thanks Brian!

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!

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!!!

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!

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 .

I am going to hold you to that. Just went to one last weekend

Brian - Thanks for your help and all the hours you have given the SFA and the industry. I am still grateful for my first meeting with you to show me how to template with the LT55. That and the tremendous amount of friendship both within the SFA and out of the SFA. Thank you so very much.

Thank you for all the hard Brian. It has been a pleasure getting to know you.

Thank you Brian!

It was nice meeting with you at Coverings16'. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to talk with you as well.
Im sure I will see you around!

Congrats Brian on your contributions! I'll still enjoy working with you on the conference program for StonExpo! Jim

Thanks Jim, I look forward to it.

It was nice meeting you as well Alex.

Thank you Brian!

Does this mean that you don't have to be pc anymore? Oh, wait, you were never pc to begin with!

Thanks for all you have done we truly appreciate everything you have given to SFA and we hope to see you and Christina soon.

Thank you for your years of work, countless posts (well okay they are counted but you get the point) and for leaving the SFA thriving for the next generation of BOD members.
