Each September since 1981, NAHB has recognized the value and efforts of its roughly 75,000 Associate members during
Associate Member Appreciation Month. Associate members comprise approximately two-thirds of NAHB's membership, and include:
- Subcontractors/specialty trade contractors,
- Professional specialties,
- Retail dealers/distributors,
- Financial services and
- Wholesale dealers/distributors, as well as others.
According to the latest
Who Are NAHB's Associate Members? report, in 2020, Associate members reported median gross revenue of $2.4 million and an average employee base of 84 employees. The percentage of female Associate members reached its highest level since 2008 at 24%.
To celebrate its Associate members, NAHB offers home builders associations (HBAs) an opportunity to send a special thank-you note through
My Campaign. HBAs can also honor their Associate members by issuing a proclamation for Associate Member Appreciation Month.
Associates can connect with each other during a
Shop Talk on Sept. 14 at 2 p.m. ET to discuss LinkedIn strategies, and follow the conversation on social media with the #AMAM21 hashtag.
Pay tribute to Associate members by
nominating them for an award, and make a point to when selecting a new vendor or trade partner.
Chairman Chuck Fowke shares his appreciation for NAHB's Associate members in this special message, which HBAs can also share with their members.
