Grill Giveaways, Education Planning at IBS Education Booth

The NAHB University of Housing will have three daily drawings for giveaways of the George Foreman Tailgater Portable Outdoor Propane Grills ― and a grand prize of a Viking 41” Ultra-Premium Gas Grill — for visitors to The NAHB University of Housing booth at the International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Fla. Entry forms for the daily drawings are available at the booth.

The booth is located in Hall B Lobby in the West Building, Level II, of the Orange County Convention Center.

The booth will also feature all the education opportunities that the NAHB University of Housing has to offer for 2006 so members can plan their professional development for the year ahead.
