Latest Rankings of Top Member Recruiters Show a Tight Race for Napa
Throughout the fall, home builder associations across the country have been successfully hosting membership drives and recruiting hundreds of new members in the process. Not only do members benefit from a larger and stronger home building community, the top member recruiters are also rewarded for their efforts.
Signature Kitchen Suite will once again offer an all-inclusive trip to Napa Valley, Calif., to the top nine builders who recruited the most new members*. Winners will travel to the LG and Signature Kitchen Suite Experience and Design Center in Napa Valley, where they will experience luxury wine tasting and gourmet cooking demos. Plus, they’ll also get to make connections with other NAHB members from around the country.
