April Remodelor of the Month |
Sherry Schwab, CGR, CAPS, of HCS Construction Services in Bellevue, Wash., is the NAHB Remodelors™ Council’s April 2005 Remodelor of the Month. Schwab has successfully owned and operated her remodeling and insurance restoration company for 26 years.
She was selected from among candidates from 17 local Remodelors™ Councils in eight states.
Schwab has been an NAHB member since 1993 and has been involved in the Remodelors™ Council since her initial membership. She also is a member of the Master Builders Association (MBA) of King and Snohomish Counties.
As a leader at the MBA, Schwab serves on its board of directors and has served on the finance committee and chaired the membership committee.
She has served as a taskforce chairman to investigate retention strategies that led to the development of the association's retention committee.
Since 1993 Schwab has been an MBA Remodelors™ Council Executive member. She is also a member of the National Remodelors™ Council Board of Trustees.
Education is important to Schwab, who earned her CGR in 1997 and CAPS in 2003. She later became a CGR and CAPS instructor.
Schwarb also is involved in her community and is a 25-year member of the honorary educational society, Alpha Delta Kappa (ADK), where she has held many leadership positions, including scholarship chair. At ADK, she was instrumental in reorganizing the scholarship program and opening it to teachers seeking to earn state certification or graduate degrees.
During her 26 years in the remodeling industry, Schwab has received a number of honors, including the Master Builders Most Inspirational Award in 1998, MBA of King and Snohomish Membership Leadership Award in 2001, Building Industry of Washington Remodelor of the Year and the MBA of King and Snohomish Remodelor of the Year in 2002.

Who Will Be the Next Remodelor™ of the Month?
The Remodelor™ of the Month (this link is accessible to Remodelors™ Council members only) award program is underway. Don't miss your opportunity to be named the Remodelor™ of the Month.
The program groups local councils from different states into designated months. There will be two “wild card” months that will allow the council’s members-at-large to participate in the program. A winner will be chosen each month and that winner will then be automatically included in the nominations for the Remodelor™ of the Year award.
This is a great opportunity for local councils and members to get involved and submit their “best of the best” members to compete with other councils. The national Remodelors™ Council will send out press releases and highlight each winner in ReNews, the Remodelors™ Council e-newsletter.
