Austin, TX–The Hyatt Regency, located here, recently welcomed 15 participants to the Southern Cypress Manufacturers Association (SCMA) for the organization’s annual meeting.

Members, prospective members, Cypress Promotion Sponsors, and other industry stakeholders spent the opening evening networking and renewing friendships.
