September Is Associate Member Appreciation Month

Recognize the contributions of associate members throughout September — and all year long — by doing business with them. Not only does it make good business sense, associate members are a vital part of the federation.

  • Nearly two-thirds of all members in the federation are associate members and their dues help fund association operations.
  • The strength that associate members bring to NAHB and the local associations helps to continually improve the building industry.
  • Additional advertising, sponsorship and exhibit fees from associate members generate hefty sources of non-dues revenue for each local association.

Five Associate Members Deserve Special Recognition

  • Lee Terry, of Lee Terry Associates in San Mateo, CA. Terry is immediate past chair of the NAHB Women’s Council and a member of BUILD-PAC’s Capitol Club.
  • In addition, four associates were inducted into the Society of Honored Associates this year:

This month and every month, show associates in your HBA that you appreciate their contributions and hard work by giving them your business.
