Fall Recruitment Competition Heads Into the Final Month
Throughout the fall, NAHB members all across the country have been busy spreading the word to their industry colleagues about the value of membership.
The goal: To recruit as many new members as possible. The reward: An even stronger Federation and — for the top recruiters — an all-inclusive* trip to the New York City area, hosted by LG and Signature Kitchen Suite.
Plus, this year’s Fall Recruitment Competition is the first time that Associate members are eligible to compete. A total of nine members (the top two Builder members and the top Associate member in each of the three HBA size categories) will earn the top prize.
