Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry’s Post

As a new membership year gets underway, we want to give our 2024-2025 Executive Committee a chance to tell you, in their own words, why they volunteer and what makes AWCI special to them. Say hello to AWCI Secretary Adam Navratil. How long has your company been a member of AWCI? My grandfather, the founder of J&B Acoustical, Inc., joined AWCI in 1963. How long have you been involved in the organization? I have been attending Conventions since I was a child with my parents in the early 80's. Interest peaked during my college years and I naturally transitioned to attending Conventions annually from 2000 forward. I initially got involved with the Education Committee soon thereafter and served as chair for 8 years. I served on the board of directors from 2015 to 2021. Why are you involved? And why do you volunteer? I believe that participating on a national level with such a great orginization can only make you and your company better at what you do. The act of giving time to something that I'm passionate about is a way for me to give back while also honing my skillset. What is the value of membership for you, the company, your employees? The value of membership for me comes from the lifelong friendships/relationships that are forged. These relationships are valuable resourses in a non-competition environment. Thought processes, experiences, and insight are shared for the betterment of all. Our employees will get to see new products and technologies from so many vendors and manufacturers in one location while being surrounded by like-minded construction professionals. The educational programs help foster employee thought process and growth when they return to work after an AWCI event.

In this article we reflect on some of the events we attended during B Corp month and thank fellow B Corps – Joelson | B Corp, Seismic and Business On Purpose UK for their organisation and hospitality. The theme of this year’s B Corp month - This Way Forward – is inspiring the next phase of our B Corp journey to embed a culture of continuous improvement into our day-to-day here at MM-Eye! #BCorp #PositiveChange #Insights #MarketResearch

What do B Corp Month and The MISSION Group's first MISSION HUBS Forum next Tuesday have in common? Well, I strongly believe that incredible things happen when you focus on growth with purpose. The power of purpose, alongside sustainable growth, can build a better business, achieve your long-term goals and potentially increase agency revenue. Becoming a B Corp is one such way to achieve this; but it's critical that clients understand the process, and time involved, to secure the certification. As a warm up to next week's event, here's a short video of me chatting to Paul Squirrell, Director of Mission Affiliate Network, about how we help demystify the B Corp process at Actus Consulting; and critically how to ensure you aren't one of the 60% of businesses who fail at securing your certification after months of work. #purposedrivenleadership #purposedrivenbusiness #purposeled #bcorpmonth #bcorp

What to expect on Awards Night: Many people think Awards Ceremonies are just for finalists, however, that’s not necessarily true. Of course, a ceremony wouldn’t be complete without these people, but an awards night is so important for so many reasons. Firstly, they act as a great way to entertain your staff, letting them blow off steam after a long and busy year. You can also use it as a way of thanking clients for all of their support throughout the previous 12 months. Secondly, it’s great for networking. It’s not often that you can be in a room with hundreds of your peers, so see it as a chance to network. Find out what other people are doing well (and not so well) and make contacts for the future. You never know when knowing an extra contractor will come in handy. Thirdly, it’s a great way to boost team morale. So many hours are spent onsite/in offices with a disproportionate amount of time spent having fun outside of work. Change that by attending an industry awards night together and having some fun – and maybe add the cherry on top by winning a Silver or Gold Award in one of the various categories. This year, the National Building and Construction Awards will be held at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, Tower Bridge, London on Thursday, October 24th, with a three-course meal, wine and fantastic entertainment included in the ticket price.
