April 5th 2012, CEA Meeting

March 30, 2012March 30, 2012 ceaonline CEA Meetings

Happy Friday everyone! Please join us next Thursday for the April Chicago Elevator Association meeting. It’s one you won’t want to miss.

Attorney Scott Skalestky and Dick Gregory will be talking about how elevator contractors can minimize their exposure to lawsuits in areas that they can control. Also using sales to minimize liability will also be discussed.

If we as an industry can minimize lawsuits the loss ratio will improve and perhaps someday, in the distant future, we will see our insurance rates drop.

So please join us next Thursday for a great opportunity to make your business better. It is absolutely worthy of your time.

No January 2012 CEA Meeting, No 2012 Educational Program

December 27, 2011December 27, 2011 ceaonline Uncategorized

I hope that everyone had a nice holiday. A couple of notes that we wanted you to be aware of.

First, there will be no January Chicago Elevator Association meeting.

Second, the Chicago Elevator Association in 2012 will not be hosting an educational seminar as we’ve done in the past. The reason for this is because NAESA International will be hosting the 2012 Central Region Spring workshop March 16-17^th, in Des Plaines Illinois.

We recommend you sign up today for the event and want to make sure you don’t miss it. This will be the best and closest opportunity for you to get your continuing education credits if you’re in the Chicagoland area.

On behalf of the officers of the CEA, have a safe and Happy New Year! We look forward to seeing you in February, when Steve Romnes from VMI will be presenting.

Sincerely,
Tom Sybert, Kevin Ryan, Tom Przybyla
