Deadline Extended for Student Chapter Awards

The deadline for awards recognizing outstanding educators and NAHB Student Chapters has been extended until Sept. 1, the Home Builders Institute (HBI), the workforce development arm of NAHB, has announced.

Sponsored by Thomson/Delmar Learning, “Outstanding Educator” at a four-year college and at a two-year college and “Outstanding Junior Faculty” awards bring national recognition to distinguished individuals who represent the highest standards in construction education.

Nominees for the awards must be affiliated with NAHB Student Chapters; be a full-time teaching member of the faculty; participate in extra-curricular activities with students; engage in activities with home builders associations and other housing organizations; engage in professional activities that include research, publications and presentations; and have experience in construction.

Sponsored by the National Council of the Housing Industry — the Supplier 100 of NAHB, the NAHB Outstanding Student Chapter Award honors exemplary chapters at all educational levels — including high schools, vocational schools and two- and four-year colleges.

Chapters are judged by their various activities, including those on behalf of the community.

Student chapters receive prizes of $2,000 for first place, $1,250 for second place and $750 for third place.

Winners will be honored during the Student Chapters Awards Ceremony, which will take place during the International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas in January and will be attended by more than 1,000 students, faculty members and home builders association representatives.
