South Central HPBA brought together 25 regional members for its Summer Education Event on June 26–27 at CDR Fireplaces in Alvarado, TX. The two-day gathering focused on hands-on training, technical education, and peer connection.

“In our industry education is gold,” said Karen Arpino, Executive Director of South Central HPBA. “I think our techs, sweeps, and installers seek the highest quality education possible. These are hands-on people who always want to learn.”

The Summer Education Event offered CEU-accredited courses on fireplace installation, venting, and diagnostics for B-vent gas systems. Attendees also enjoyed grilled lunches and breakfast tacos prepared by the CDR Fireplaces team.
