May 5 Is National Membership Day

National Membership Day — the annual culmination of NAHB’s ongoing efforts to recruit and retain members — is coming up fast, on May 5, and association members are being urged to participate in the drive.

In competition with home builders associations across the country, throughout National Membership Day, associations will be calling in their projected new members and council member totals for the month of May.

Current association members are ideal recruiters, and they are being asked to help build NAHB “one member at a time.”
