CSA MEMBER OUTREACH
Voluntary Employee Contributions (VEC) Program is LIVE!
CSA Executive Director Roy Flahive, along with CSA Director of Member Services, Cheryl Flahive, began visiting CSA member companies this past week. They gave a presentation on the State of the Association and re-introduced CSA’s Employee Contribution program, an initiative that began in 1996. The Flahives’ first visit was to Western Sign Company in Diamond Springs, CA. At the conclusion of the presentation, 50% of the employees in attendance provided written commitments to participate in the VEC program!
Sixteen employees gathered to better understand the programs and services CSA provides and to learn how the ongoing efforts of CSA protect the sign industry. Those efforts also help protect the jobs and livelihood of employees within the company. Employee pledges were attained on a strictly voluntary basis, and reflect appreciation for CSA’s programs, designed to protect their future in this industry.
We owe all the personal investors at Western Sign a big Thank You! Ask your employer how you can become a part of the CSA Voluntary Employee Contribution program!
