Members Honored for Furthering Remodeling

Five members of the Remodelors™ Council were honored for their service to the council and the remodeling industry during a dinner at the International Builders' Show in Orlando, Fla.

Outstanding Service Award — Bill Lazor

Bill Lazor, CGRA, of Simonton Windows in Parkersburg, W.Va., was given the Remodelors™ Council Outstanding Service award for his work as chairman of the newly formed Remodelors™ Council Business Associates Committee.

One of Lazor’s key accomplishments as chairman was to help grow the committee by surveying all NAHB associate members to determine how they and the Remodelors™ Council builder members could better benefit from each other's expertise.

“This committee grew in numbers as the year progressed and has a bright future in working forward to benefit the Remodelors™ Council and the industry,” said 2004 Remodelors™ Council Chairman Doug Sutton, Sr., CGR, CAPS.

Distinguished Service Award — Bill Owens

Bill Owens, CGR, CAPS, of Owens Construction in Powell, Ohio, was the winner of the Distinguished Service Award for his continued dedication to the council. Last year, Owens planned, funded and hosted an event that raised more than $3,000 for the Remodelors™ Council Bryan Patchan Scholarship.

In addition, Owens served as chairman of the council’s leadership development committee and worked on behalf of his local and state associations.

Public Relations Savvy Members

This year, the Remodelors™ Council also recognized for the first time council members who have promoted the council and the professionalism of the industry throughout the year by working with the press on a regular basis and for contributing to NAHB publications, including Nation’s Building News. More than 20 council members wrote articles for Nation’s Building News last year. The following were honored because of the number and popularity of the articles they contributed:

Who Will Be the Next Remodelor™ of the Month?

The Remodelor™ of the Month (this link is accessible to Remodelors™ Council members only) award program is underway. Don't miss your opportunity to be named the Remodelor™ of the Month. 
 
The program groups local councils from different states into designated months. There will be two “wild card” months that will allow the council’s members-at-large to participate in the program. A winner will be chosen each month and that winner will then be automatically included in the nominations for the Remodelor™ of the Year award.
    
This is a great opportunity for local councils and members to get involved and submit their “best of the best” members to compete with other councils. The national Remodelors™ Council will send out press releases and highlight each winner in ReNews, the Remodelors™ Council e-newsletter.

The NAHB University of Housing Offers Designation Programs and Other Courses

The NAHB University of Housing offers CAPS, CGR, CGB and a variety of other professional designation programs and business management courses that set builders and remodelers apart from the competition.
