TOCA Talk - President's Message
Putting down roots in TOCA
By Scott Covelli, TOCA President
Hello, TOCA crew!
If you were able to join us in Cleveland in April for our annual meeting, I hope you all made it home safely and have been able to get back to your routine. It was a special annual meeting full of important insights and fond memories.
Just to name a few, here are some highlights:
➡️A beautiful night at the Guardians game – and Travis Bazzana’s first Major League Baseball game – despite the loss. Thank you for sponsoring such a memorable night, Hunter Industries!
➡️Two excellent panel discussions from end users and publishers, giving us a valuable glimpse of the challenges in our industries.
➡️An eye-opening presentation at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and breathtaking interactions with tigers, red pandas, wolves and more.
➡️Muddy but meaningful volunteer work with Project Evergreen at Helen Simpson park, where we edged garden beds, planted flowers, picked up sticks and pulled weeds to beautify the neighborhood.
➡️Thoughtful presentations on email marketing and video content that sent us home with new tools and ideas to explore.
➡️A memorable banquet with dozens of award winners and two worthy Hall of Fame inductees in Russ Warner and David Cassidy.
