Spring Membership Drive Rewards Strongest HBA Recruiters

The 2026 Spring Membership Drive was a national recruitment initiative that grew membership by highlighting the value of belonging to a local home builders association (HBA) and NAHB at the national level.

This year’s drive focused on the power of member-to-member connections and encouraged members to do business with fellow members.

A total of 264 HBAs registered for the drive that took place between April 1 and June 30, and 48 of them are being honored for their tremendous recruitment and retention successes.

Twenty-one of those HBAs achieved Builder and Associate Member net growth between 4% and 6.99%, earning:

• $1,000 to host a networking event promoting Doing Business with Association Members
• Complimentary registration to the 2026 Association Management Conference (AMC) for one Executive Officer
• 2x bonus Spike points

Twenty-seven of those HBAs achieved greater than 7% Builder and Associate Member net growth, earning:

• $2,000 to host a networking event promoting Doing Business with Association Members
• Complimentary registration to the 2026 Association Management Conference (AMC) for one Executive Officer
• 3x bonus Spike points

New this year, NAHB also gave out free car magnets to the first 1,000 recruiters and new members.
