Event provides chapter executives with a comprehensive understanding of SMACNA’s programs, services, activities, and operations.

SMACNA recently held its annual New Chapter Executive Orientation at SMACNA National Headquarters in Chantilly, VA. This meeting is to give newer chapter leaders a clear understanding of SMACNA’s programs, services, activities, and how it works. Our goal is to give you the knowledge and tools you need to support your members and chapters well. It also gave new Chapter Executives the unique opportunity to network with SMACNA National staff and other Chapter Executives.
Attendees also had the opportunity to hear from SMACNA staff members and how each department can assist chapter executives and their members.
