3 PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Bill Vargo Hello Everyone! In addition to our usual Christmas festivities this month, we have a very special dinner speaker. Mr. Sy Gottlieb will speak to us on his career within NCMA and the contracting profession. Sy was a founding member of NCMA and was one of the first three members awarded Fellow status. He recently received his fifty-year NCMA membership pin. Please take advantage of this rare opportunity to hear Sy speak. In addition to Sy, we will keep up our tradition of caroling. Bernard Hartmann will once again lead us through the songs, so start doing your vocal exercises. As stated before, NCMA is a valuable source of job opportunities.
