It is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate in NASCLA’s 48th Annual Conference to be held on August 22-25, 2010 in my home state of South Carolina. The beautiful city of Charleston is often called The Cradle of Southern History and Charm. I am delighted to invite the NASCLA conference participants to historical Charleston.

NASCLA is the only association that brings contractor licensing agencies regulators, national and state trade associations, construction industry professionals and contractors together under one forum. The association provides unique networking opportunities for professional development and knowledge to share practices and ideas with other colleagues throughout the construction industry.

The NASCLA Program Committee and Staff have been working diligently creating an agenda with invaluable sessions that highlight issues we are facing everyday within our industry. A glimpse of sessions for this year’s conference includes topics on the new wave of "Going Green", Bonding Requirements for Licensees, Continuing Education, Government Software, The Demand for a Solar Licensing Classification, and Construction Accounting and Financial Reporting. I am very pleased to welcome back one of NASCLA’s beloved speakers Karen Smith, from the Arbitration Mediation Conciliation Center. Karen will conduct training on how alternative dispute resolution (ADR) – mediation and conciliation – fits in with the court system titled, "Dispute Resolution & The Courts: The Big Picture".

The Mills House Hotel will be the conference location. The hotel has true character where you will discover beautifully restored historic lodging carefully detailed with antique treasures including the Robert E. Lee Room. This room was named for the room in the original Mills House Charleston, South Carolina Hotel which served as field headquarters for the legendary General prior to the Civil War.

NASCLA’s Annual Conference is our single greatest opportunity each year to welcome new members, network with state regulators and exchange ideas with construction industry professionals. I encourage you to register and attend this year’s conference and commemorate with our members 48 Years of Excellence in Regulation.

I look forward to seeing you in Charleston this fall!

Sincerely,

John Curl

NASCLA President

 A Special thanks to our 2009 Mid Year Meeting Sponsors

The National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies (NASCLA) hosted the 2007 Mid Year Meeting on September 25 - 28, 2007 in Little Rock, Arkansas at the Peabody Hotel. 

The Conference began the morning of Tuesday, September 25 for NASCLA's Committee Members who had meetings throughout the day. The program officially kicked off on Tuesday night with an "Arkansas Themed" opening reception, held in the beautiful Riverview Room of the Peabody Hotel. The fun filled mixer gave new attendee's and returning participants an opportunity to catch up and get to know one another, while learning about the History of Arkansas.

The general conference began on Wednesday, September 26 and included presentations by Kieran Marion, Karen Smith, Charles Marceaux, Alan Felber, David Fogt, Jennifer Grimes and Tom Hannah. On Wednesday evening the group was treated to a cruise down the Arkansas River aboard the Arkansas Queen Paddle Boat. Dinner was served while a live band played as they cruised by the Little Rock Skyline. The evening turned out to be the perfect excursion after a long day of sessions.

The general sessions continued on Thursday, September 27 with the Round Table Sessions for Attorneys, Board Members and Executive Directors. Ken Fairchild wrapped up the second day of sessions with his interactive presentation on how to conduct successful interviews with the media. On Thursday afternoon, the majority of the group toured the Clinton Presidential Library and some participants traveled a short distance to the Rebsamen Golf Course for a Golf Tournament. Later in the evening the group met at the Old State House Lawn for an evening that offered participants a true taste of the south. The group dined on fried cat fish while listening to the sounds of the Exit 88 band.

The sessions on Friday, September 28 included presentations from Heidi Lincer-Hill, Skip Sharrer, Calvin Fabre, Van Tilbury and Edward Maloney. On Friday evening participants joined each other for the closing banquet which brought the 2007 Mid Year Meeting to its conclusion. The evening proved to be a night to remember for all who attended!

NASCLA has nine committees and meetings are held throughout the year in locations all around the country. Committees meet at least twice a year (at the Mid Year Meeting and Annual Conference) and periodically by teleconference.
