On Tuesday, August 20, the Colorado Limousine Association (CLA) held an online membership meeting that attracted members from throughout the state.
CLA President Erica Bugbee of ExecuStar World Class Services kicked off the morning meeting by welcoming attendees and providing a brief financial report. She then provided a wrap up on the CLA’s successful Summer Educational Conference held on July 9. Bugbee then stated that the association is set to begin the process of applying for the National Limousine Association’s scholarship, which grants local associations up to $10,000.
Two guest speakers were present on the webinar; the first was Robin Friedberg from Research Underwriters, who provided something of a state of the industry of the insurance business in Colorado. Next was Harry Dhillon of Hashtag Biz Solutions, who offered an introduction to the staffing, answering service, and digital marketing services his company has to offer. Bugbee was proud to report that both Dhillon and Friedberg are Gold Vendor Members of the CLA.
Before concluding, John Hafer of A Custom Coach provided updates regarding the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) and the Denver International Airport (DIA). He stated that a new TNC—Driver’s Co-Op—is due to hit the market, and electric charging stations are coming to DIA next month. The discussion then turned to the DIA enforcement policies occurring at the airport terminals, namely not having PUC numbers on the front of cars. Fortunately, since COVID, officers seem to be letting most operators off with warning tickets for infractions, except in the case of not having a current “health card.”
The next CLA meeting is scheduled to be in person at a date and locale to be determined soon.
