National Designation Month is a time to celebrate our successes and keep momentum high! HBAs: Get marketing and public relations tools to promote National Designation Month at www.nahb.org/NDMtools! National Designation Month 2008 The NAHB University of Housing will again sponsor National Designation Month so members can hone their business skills and convey to their clients the superior training, practical experience and in-depth knowledge that come with earning an NAHB designation. This is an ideal time to jump-start or complete a designation. In addition, local associations around the country are also planning courses, events and guidance to help members obtain their designations and advance their professionalism and business knowledge. For a list of courses, visit www.nahb.org/Education often. A Great HBA Opportunity "The chief thing that a designation does is give you a huge boost in self-confidence," said Mike Weiss, CGR, CGB, GMB, CAPS, of Weiss RCMI, who with his four designations, speaks from experience. "It's an emblem that signifies that you have completed an element of study and puts you a cut above — not just because of what you have learned, but because you have taken the initiative to improve yourself." Thomas Stephani, CGB, CAPS, GMB, CMP, MIRM of William Thomas Homes in Crystal Lake, Ill., agrees. "NAHB professional designations are important because they give you the opportunity to show your customers that you've done something that other builders in the marketplace have not — continued your education and learned how to be a better builder," he said. National Designation Month 2007 Highlights National Designation Month 2007 boasted 189 courses and 2,290 registrants! Congratulations to everyone who made 2007 such a successful year!
