Outstanding State and Local Associations Recognized by NAHB
State and local home builders’ associations (HBAs) executive officers and staff always go the extra mile to support members, the industry and their communities. In recognition of their outstanding service, each year, NAHB recognizes HBAs who have delivered top-notch service and deployed successful programs within the past year with the Association Excellence Awards (AEA).
The 2022 HBA AEA recipients — selected from a pool of 120 applicants — represent achievements in six pillars: Communications, Education, Government Affairs, HBA Operations, Membership and Revenue.
“The AEA HBA Award submissions from our Federation’s local and state associations always amaze me. The award entries help spark new ideas and fuel motivational energy for other HBAs. We have a superb professional network, and it’s awesome to witness when the award winners reach out and help our colleagues successfully duplicate their efforts,” said Jay Iverson, EOC President and executive officer of the HBA of Iowa. “The volunteers and staff members representing the 2022 winners should be proud. Cheers to the award winners!”
The HBA Award winners will be joined by the winners of the individual awards and recognized at the Association Management Conference in Cincinnati, Aug. 22-24.
