Throughout September, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is recognizing the contributions and successes of its approximately 70,000 Associate members during Associate Member Appreciation Month.
Associate members constitute nearly two-thirds of NAHB’s membership and encompass a diverse range of professions, including subcontractors, financial services, retail and wholesale, manufacturing, accounting, and more.
“[Associates] have the expertise, skills and materials that push the home building industry forward and [their] work has never been more important,” said NAHB Chairman Carl Harris. “It’s no secret that our industry continues to face some tough challenges, but Associates stand shoulder to shoulder and help us fight for home building — whether it’s on Capitol Hill or in your local community.”
Throughout September, NAHB will highlight the critical work Associate members perform to provide support, trade skills, and materials essential for housing professionals to conduct business.
The organization encourages others to join in the celebration by:
- Nominating an Associate member for an Associates of Excellence Award to spotlight their contributions. Honors include the Associate Advocate of BUILD-PAC award and Associate of the Year award.
- Submitting standout members for a potential feature in NAHB's Associates Facebook group by providing their name, title, company, accomplishments, reason for nomination, and a picture.
- Promoting the importance of hiring Associate members by sharing Do Business with an NAHB Member graphics.
