I am very excited to announce that our Chapter has made a significant investment into a new state of the art web-site that will be fully functional sometime this summer. This web-site will have many new features to attract Contractors and to promote our Associates.

Some of the new features will include: Members only area, Associates on-line buyers guide, Ability for banner ad space and links to individual businesses, Consumer Information with an updated Contractor Locator and...
