President’s Message

It’s hard to believe summer is almost here. Our Association has had a busy and productive first half of the year experiencing growth in membership, as well as participation in our marketing and networking events.

Welcome to our new members…along with new employees who have joined existing companies. We are here to support you and help you maximize the benefits of your membership. Take advantage of the volunteer and staff resources available to point you in the right direction based on your areas of interest.

Let’s Grow Together…our Board of Directors has challenged each other to recruit at least one new member this year…and I encourage you to do the same. There are so many companies that we all do business with that are not members of our Association… many may not be aware that we exist or the magnitude of benefits & services provided. We ask that you share information and invite them to join…or attend an upcoming event to experience the Association firsthand. Membership growth helps us build a stronger association.

Our First Wednesday Member Connections are great introductory events providing members and guests an opportunity to make new business connections. We appreciate the support of members hosting and sponsoring these events. Everyone has enjoyed touring the various showrooms, seeing the latest in products while networking. We will continue to hold these monthly throughout the summer. Utilize our weekly Member News emails and visit our website for upcoming dates and locations.

We recently concluded a successful Spring Parade of Homes…many builders have said it was one of our best Parades in years based on the qualified attendees that are interested in buying and/or building. Planning is underway for our combined Fall Parade of Homes and TOUR of Remodeled Homes to be held October 3-4 & 10-11 showcasing both newly constructed and professionally remodeled homes. Builders & Remodelers…I encourage you to participate with open houses and/or virtual tour only entries. Our company has benefited tremendously from participating…building greater name recognition along with sales and pre-sales. Information remains on the website for six months providing additional marketing exposure after the event. Entry deadline is July 10.

If you are looking for a way to support our Workforce Development initiatives as well as get to know other members…join our Casino Night planning team. This is our signature fund-raising event with all proceeds supporting our Building for the Future Construction Careers Scholarship Fund. There are numerous ways to support this event from sponsorships…to donation of prizes…to purchasing tickets…to serving on the planning team. Your involvement helps us grow and expand our scholarship program. Speaking of scholarships…we are currently accepting applications for the fall semester. If you know of any high school students and/or adults pursing skilled trades training at area community colleges…encourage them to apply. It’s a simple process…our goal is to grow this program each semester…building a stronger workforce.

We value your membership and look forward to working together to grow and expand our membership, programs and events throughout the year.

Enjoy your summer!

Parade of Homes

The Parade of Homes is a vital part of our company’s annual planning. Our participation in the Spring Parade has already resulted in two confirmed builds for 2027. If increasing your company’s market share and sales is a priority for your business, I highly encourage all our builder members to participate. It is an excellent way to support your own business and our Association.

We look forward to the Parade of Homes every year to make new connections with potential clients. Participating in the Spring Parade kick starts the summer busy building season!

The 2026 Spring Parade was the best ever! We picked up more potential clients than ever before. This year there were people looking to build. Parade brings a lot of traffic to your house that you would not otherwise get. Even if you do not receive any leads now, they may come back in the future looking to build. I encourage all builders to participate to keep your name out there. Best marketing ever!

Fall Parade & TOUR of Remodeled Homes Entry Deadline is July 10
