NAHB Chairman: Recognize Top Member Recruiters During Spike Appreciation Month
The strength of NAHB is built on the shared talents, knowledge and expertise of our members. And as the Federation grows, the value of membership also grows with increased opportunities for members to network, learn and share best practices.
Member-to-member recruitment is the most effective source of growth for our Federation. For that reason, NAHB has designated the month of November as Spike Appreciation Month — an opportunity for HBAs and industry professionals to recognize those who consistently help in member recruitment and retention efforts, many of whom are known as “Spikes.”
Learn more about who Spikes are and how to become a member of the Spike Club at nahb.org. And, watch the video below from NAHB Chairman Jerry Konter who shares his thoughts on the vital role Spikes play within the home building industry.
