The chapter was especially excited that IIBEC’s new EVP and CEO Brian Pallasch, President Bob Card, and Senior Director of Technical Services Emily Lorenz joined them for this great event. Tabletop exhibitors included Tecta America, Hydrotech, IR Analyzers, Architectural Building Solutions, and Comstruct Sales. The chapter is sincerely thankful to the tabletop exhibitors for supporting their annual event. Kim Lis discusses the history of the Edgewater Beach Garden Terrace Renovation.
