Deadline to Submit Agenda Items for the December Council Meeting is Friday

Some important items to note!

• You can suggest topics that may lead to recommendations for the SMACNA Board of Directors or be discussed for information during the Council meeting.
• To submit a topic, fill out this form and either submit it online or email it to Laurie Greene at lgreene@smacna.org by the October 2, 2026 deadline.
• Only topics submitted by the deadline will be included on the agenda. If you submit a topic after the deadline, it will be moved to the next Council meeting unless leadership considers it urgent.

If new topics come up during the meeting that were not on the original agenda, they will follow the Council’s rules for non-agenda items. Acting on these topics will need a two-thirds majority vote from the councilors present.

This free seminar, held every two years, offers practical advice on the legal, financial, and operational duties of managing an industry fund. You’ll learn about the laws and regulations for industry funds and best practices for compliance, accountability, and long-term success.
