425 HBAs Now Signed Up for Membership Day on May 22

This year, membership analysts predict that NAHB’s upcoming National Membership Day on Tuesday, May 22 could bring in more than 10,000 new members. During the day, more prizes will be awarded to successful recruiters than ever before, thanks to Whirlpool, NAHB’s exclusive membership sponsor.

All the action that day can be seen live on the National Membership Day Webcast from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Members of participating local home builders associations that participate are eligible to win a Chill and Grill Travel Cooler, receive double Spike credits during the month of May and become eligible to rank in national membership competitions for recruitment, retention and participation.

To be eligible for these incentives, members must belong to a local association that:

  • Has completed the “Commit to Call” and faxed it to NAHB by Friday, May 11.

  • Calls between noon and 5:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, May 22 to report new member pledge totals for the month of May.


More than half of all the local HBAs — 425 — are registered to participate in NAHB’s annual membership drive.

To determine if your HBA is registered and you are eligible for extra credits and prizes, visit the “Commit to Call” tracker link, which is maintained and updated regularly by the NAHB Membership Team.

Register for National Membership Day Webcast

The theme this year, “Leaders of the Pack,” evokes motorcycle-oriented excitement and will be a prominent part of the day’s Webcast, which will be broadcast live from the National Housing Center in Washington, D.C.

Members can register and view the Webcast by clicking here.
