Fall Membership Recruiting Competition is Under Way
The 2024 Fall Recruitment Competition is under way for Builder and Associate members to earn a trip to New York City awarded by LG and Signature Kitchen Suite. The annual competition to recruit as many new NAHB members as possible began on Sept. 1 and will run through Nov. 30.
This year’s hardworking recruiters will be rewarded with a two-night trip to Manhattan with the opportunity to view LG’s luxury Skyline Showroom and be treated with a unique culinary experience including sous video cooking demonstrations and hands-on tutorials. Cost of airfare, meals and hotel will be covered.
“It was an awesome trip,” said Lucinda Striker, one of last year’s recruitment competition winners and a member of the Marion County Building Industry Association. “We even got to connect with other Builder and Associate members, which was a great learning experience for me as a newer NAHB member.”
Nine members will be announced as winners prior to Jan. 30, 2025, including two Builder members and one Associate member from each size category (small, medium and large affiliated organizations).

The CHI results from the second quarter of 2025 show that a family earning the nation’s median income of $104,200 needed 36% of its income to cover the mortgage payment on a median-priced new home. Low-income families, defined as those earning only 50% of median income, would have to spend 71% of their earnings to pay for the same new home.
