ENGINEERING CONTRACTOR`S ASSOCIATION

Contractors are no strangers to difficult challenges and hard work. What makes us unique, however, is our measured sense of optimism - taking on jobs that come with many risks and

the opportunity to safely complete the work hopefully at a profit. It is this sense of dedication

and commitment that makes us what we are.

In the coming year we, as an association, will take on the challenges and opportunities of a

changing industry that will require that same sense of dedication in the face of adversity. It is for

these reasons, your association membership has become an even more valuable and

indispensable asset to your business future.

Air quality regulations certainly sit at the forefront of our agenda with severe restrictions on

equipment and usage constantly becoming more and more a reality for contractors in California

and especially here in our region. ECA has maintained active involvement on this issue voicing

contractor concerns and providing input and guidance in the frustrating regulatory process.

We have just celebrated ECA's 34th Annual Installation of Officers and I again thank my fellow

board members for their confidence and support electing me to the office of ECA President.
