After the member meetings on Thursday, Feb. 27, guests were invited to participate in the annual golf tournament. Those not inclined to show off their golf skills, were welcome to enjoy a luxurious catamaran tour of the bay area or try their hand at skeet shooting.

Speakers included Mark Beisecker, from Cobbs Allen, who discussed “Effective Safety Leadership”; Rick Hoffman, of the INGAA Foundation, presented on “Construction Quality Initiatives”; and John Hofmeister, founder and CEO of Citizens for Affordable Energy, former president of Shell Oil Co. and author of the book Why We Hate Oil Companies, discussed energy now and into the future.
