Pam Scholefield-Key Speaker at Rebuild San Diego Fire Victim workshop

Pam Scholefield was key speaker at the November 16th REBUILD SAN DIEGO fire victim workshop in Escondido.

This event, a volunteer driven and supported workshop was the brainchild of Mike Caples, of Contractor News and Views. Ms. Scholefield immediately agreed to be a participant in order to help the fire victims.

The information sessions were at times "standing room only" and gave the fire victims insight and needed information from local governmental agencies and private supporters such as Scholefield Associates, P.C. In addition to the information sessions, there was an exhibit hall that consisted of licensed contractors (whose credentials were checked prior to their exhibiting), governmental organizations, trade groups such as the National Electrical Contractors Association, and even a fire survivors group from the Cedar fires in 2003.

Ms. Scholefield spoke about the need to understand all the contract terms and conditions, the dangers of using unlicensed contractors and even the risks of using an owner-builder consultant. Typically, there was not enough time for the homeowners to really get detailed answers to their questions, but the event exposed these people to the magnitude of their rebuilding process.

The event was broadcast live on KOGO's Roger Hedgcock's radio show, which gave those individuals interested, but unable to attend, a taste of what they were missing.

"Hopefully all the attendees came away with something useful for their rebuilding process" said Scholefield.
