NAHB Membership Day a Banner Success

Participating in NAHB’s National Membership Day on May 5, 367 local and state home builders associations called in more than 5,500 new members.

With membership continuing to rise even after the one-day annual event, NAHB has subsequently increased its official membership total from 205,000 to 211,000.

During the “2003 Masters of Membership” drive, the National Sales and Marketing Council brought in 457 new members; the Collier Building Industry Association in Naples, FL, recruited 237. The state of Florida increased its membership rolls by 900.

“This outstanding and record-breaking effort is a tribute to the dedication of our entire membership,” said Lynne Pratt, chairperson of the NAHB Membership Committee. “Let’s continue to build our future by strengthening the foundation of our industry one member at a time!”

Pratt and the NAHB Senior Officers gave special thanks to Sears Contract Sales, exclusive National Membership Day partner and sponsor, for their continued support with NAHB’s membership initiatives at the local, state and national levels.
