Lisa Alajajian-Giroux, New England Chapter president, reported that 115 people attended this year’s conference, making it the most successful chapter conference in 10 years.
She said the chapter’s board of directors and those serving on the Education Committee dedicated themselves to making it a success. Giving special recognition to Education Committee chair Bob Mulloy, she said, “He really outdid himself this year.”

The conference was held October 14-15 in Randolph, Mass.

Speakers included Ted Benson, the famous timber frame builder seen on This Old House; Steve Gladstone, 2004 ASHI president; Jonathan Braverman, attorney at law; Don Lovering, an ASHI member who performed a mock trial; Brad Keys, a local HVAC expert, who delivered a trailer with a boiler display, and Kenny Hart, ASHI national conference speaker on plumbing.
