H
appy spring to you all! The days 
and weeks certainly seem 
to fly by—it’s hard to believe 
we’re already well into 
2026. I hope the new year 
has started off strong for everyone 
and that project activity and sales 
forecasts are trending in a positive 
direction.
Speaking of days going by fast, I 
started writing this letter from my 
hotel room at the Wyndam Grand 
Jupiter at Harbourside Place in 
Jupiter FL, just getting ready to start 
our winter board and committee 
meetings.  The warm weather was 
certainly a welcome change of pace, 
though I’ll admit I felt a little guilty 
knowing what many of you were 
dealing with back home. Watching 
the weather, there were parts of 
Minnesota and Wisconsin expected 
to see wind chills dipping into the 
negative 30s and 40s and some to the 
negative 50s over the days.  Turns 
out the weather system made quite 
an impact on those traveling for our 
meeting as well, with many flight and 
travel changes made to get members 
back home.
The winter meetings are an 
important opportunity for our board 
and committee members to come 
together, finalize planning, and 
continue moving MICA forward. 
Our members in attendance had 
productive discussions and worked 
through business that needed to 
be completed.  We also spent some 
time gearing up for our Annual 
Convention in June. I want to thank 
everyone who has committed their 
time and energy to serving on 
the board and committees—your 
involvement is critical to the strength 
of our association and our industry.
Looking ahead, I’m already excited 
for our next in-person gathering in 
June 2026 at the Everline Resort and 
Spa in Olympic Valley, California. 
Set against the beautiful backdrop of 
Lake Tahoe, Everline is a first-class 
venue and an outstanding setting 
for collaboration, networking, and 
enjoying time together. Photos of the 
area do not do it justice, and I hope 
you’ll make plans now to join us in a 
truly memorable location.  Register 
Today!
We are certainly looking forward to 
seeing you at Lake Tahoe.  Thank 
you all for your commitment to MICA 
and our industry and what we can 
accomplish together.
