EVENT HISTORY AND MISSION
Annual Convention was started by the CFA nearly the same time
as the Association itself. From the beginning, CFA (then PCWCA) was
created to produce an environment where contractors could learn from
each other, contribute to the direction of the industry and receive
insight to business and product that would elevate their own
organizations beyond the competition. Annual Convention has also
been an event focused on the generational uniqueness of this industry.
No other construction sector has the wealth of experience with multigenerational ownership and no other industry event expressly seeks to
include family in the fabric of the network.
The CFA Annual Convention has catered to the diversity of the
industry and taken cues from the diversity of the North American
market its members serve. From San Francisco, California to Stowe,
Vermont; Niagara Falls, Ontario to Branson, Missouri; Albuquerque,
New Mexico to Williamsburg, Virginia, this event has created a
backdrop of beauty and energy each and every year.
Convention Mission:
To inspire contractors toward a vision of higher quality, greater
confidence and broader diversity through intensive social
networking, business modeling and product technology.
