The Importance of NAHB's Associate Members

NAHB is celebrating the contributions and triumphs of its roughly 70,000 Associate members during September in the annual Associate Member Appreciation Month.

Associate members comprise nearly two-thirds of NAHB’s membership and represent a slew of crucial trades specialties including accounting, manufacturing, financial services, retail and wholesale, and more.

“Whether you provide essential materials, services or expertise, your support strengthens our network, fuels collaboration and helps move the entire industry forward,” said NAHB Chairman Bill Owens.

Throughout September, NAHB will highlight the important work Associate members do to provide the support, trade skills and materials every housing professional needs to conduct their business.

We’ll also showcase the job opportunities available in the industry, spotlight recent Associate award winners, and provide networking tips for those looking to get the most out of their time at the International Builders’ Show.

You can help celebrate Associate members, too.

Consider:

• Nominating an Associate member for an Associate award including Associate Advocate of BUILD-PAC award and Associate of the Year
• Submitting standout members for a potential feature on NAHB’s social media platforms by including their name, title, company, accomplishments, reason for nomination, and a picture
• Promoting the importance of hiring Associate members by sharing graphics on social media
