It was a beautiful day on the course at the SB Contractors Association Golf Tournament last Friday!

3C-REN spent the day stationed at the 9th hole, keeping an eye out for a hole-in-one (sadly, we didn’t see one this time!), but we did get to make plenty of great connections with local contractors, builders, and industry partners.

Thanks to the Santa Barbara Contractors Association for hosting a great event and giving us the opportunity to connect with the building community and share more about 3C-REN’s incentives and training opportunities!
