Cypress at ECHO Fall Seminar

9/20/08 - Cypress Construction is proud to be a member of ECHO - the Executive Council of Homeowners. ECHO is a nonprofit membership corporation dedicated to assisting California homeowners associations (HOAs), and twice annually have these informative and interesting seminars at the Seacliff Inn in Aptos.

Because so much of our business is serving HOA's, it's important to me to not only network within the HOA communities, but to learn as much as possible about the legal, logistical, and maintenance issues that HOAs face. Every Seminar has a cadre of speakers on a given topic, and during breaks, attendees can visit the 9 or 10 vendor booths and learn about HOA-related banking, maintenance, property managers, etc.

This Seminar's theme was Legal Issues facing HOAs in 2008. With excellent speakers and powerpoint presentations, attendees learned from recent HOA-related Case Laws, Funding and Delinquent Issues, and Dealing with Difficult Residents.

For me, it's always a pleasure to be out there meeting new folks, old friends, and sometimes getting to meet customers in person that I'd only dealt with on the phone! Cypress Construction Services has a Trade Show booth that we take to these Seminars.
Of course, one of the great attractions is the raffle prizes that we vendors give way in the raffle drawing at the end of the Seminar. We gave away "Dinner and a Movie in Santa Cruz"- a $30 Gift Certificate from Benten Japanese Restaurant and a $30 Gift Card for the Del Mar or Nickelodeon Theaters.

Thanks to all who attended, and the the good folks at ECHO, who make these Seminars possible.
