FInd a Contractor

President's Farewell - Fall 2004

Where Did the Past Three Years Go?

As we turn the Presidency of MICA over to Jim Molinelli, I will leave you with a few thoughts.

The 2004 ROYAL Awards ceremony and dinner was a tremendous success. The quality of the projects demonstrated the firm commitment that MICA members have to providing Marylander's with the finest in home improvement projects. As usual, the dinner and facility were top-notch. I'd like to especially thank the homeowners who attended the function - your support lends further credence to the MICA members that you hired to complete your award-winning projects. Trust is a huge factor in contracting with a home improvement firm. By sticking with the trusted members of MICA, you will find a pool of expert home improvement contractors who have demonstrated their proficiency through references and awards for their successful projects.

The past three years have been a period of stabilization for MICA. With the development of the www.marylandremodelers.com web site, the association with Chesapeake Home magazine, the continued success of the Annual Golf Outing, and the expert stewardship of The Joseph E. Shaner Company, MICA has maintained membership and has continued to develop new member benefits.

I welcome the new MICA Executive Committee of Jim Molinelli (President), Roger Blitz (Vice President), and Ross Ehudin (Sec'y./Treasurer). Our committed Board of Directors will work in conjunction with the Executive Committee to further develop programs and member benefits. Our legislative liaison will continue to represent our industry in Annapolis - a huge benefit to members and homeowners alike. This talented group of volunteers will work to further promote MICA as the trusted source for homeowners seeking quality contractors, and will continue to present MICA as the Voice of the Home Improvement Industry of Maryland.

I support our new MICA leadership and I look forward to continuing my long-standing relationship with the organization. To all members, please remember the rallying cry of our new President, Jim Molinelli, to bring in at least one new member this year. To all homeowners, ask your licensed contractor to become a MICA member and maybe your project will be included in next year's ROYAL program. After all, this is a member-dependent organization that provides a huge service to our industry.

Best wishes for the upcoming year.
