Have You Thanked an Associate Member Recently?
Associate members serve as an important component of NAHB membership — not only in sheer numbers, as they comprise roughly two-thirds (68%) of NAHB members, but in the services, leadership and connections they provide across the association.
Associate Member Appreciation Month is a great opportunity to recognize these members for their contributions to the association and the home-building industry. Since 1981, NAHB has annually designated this observance each September to provide much-deserved visibility and recognition to its invaluable Associate members.
Join NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke in honoring and thanking Associate members for their work by sending a special thank-you note through My Campaign or issuing a proclamation for Associate Member Appreciation Month.
For more information on Associate Member Appreciation Month and ideas on how you can celebrate our Associate members, visit nahb.org.
Thank you to the sponsors of Associate Member Appreciation Month: 84 Lumber, Whirlpool Corporation and Dominion Energy.
