Big and Bold: CSA and Expo
Thanks to everyone who helped make the ISA Sign Expo 2019 a success for the California Sign Association! Not only was it terrific to see so many CSA members at the CSA booth (HUB) WED/THURS/FRI, APRIL 24-26, the education, meetings, network, outreach to new members, and social events shared, are countless! With a little effort, what happened in Vegas will not stay in Vegas.
From a golf event (see other story here) to massive Expo hall and the CSA Board meeting, the year’s biggest industry event featured something for everyone. The photos capture attendees at the ISA Sign Expo visiting the CSA booth, and they reveal the always productive work of CSA Board Members at our meetings.
Speaking of board meetings, the California Sign Association held a meeting of its Board of Directors on Friday, April 26, in Las Vegas, in conjunction with the ISA Expo.
With generous attendance, business moved rapidly during the two-hour meeting. Some outcomes included a review of financial statements; regulatory and local code highlights from legal counsel Jeff Aran; discussion of CSA membership growth; update on the crane operator certification program and new OSHA regulation for Mobile Crane Operator Evaluation, Standardized Engineering, Retrofits, and Hazardous Waste Disposal; and dialogue on CSA’s STEPS, Sign Training & Education Program Series.
