Builder Achievement Award Deadline Extended to Dec. 3

The nomination deadline for the National Housing Endowment Builder Achievement Award for Outstanding Community Service has been extended to Dec. 3.

The Builder Achievement award recognizes NAHB builder, developer and remodeler members for exceptional community service and charitable work.

The awards provide an opportunity for builders to gain recognition for the community service of their employees and inspire others to support local charities. Associations are also encouraged to make nominations on behalf of their members for their outstanding charitable endeavors.

Eight honorees will receive Gold, Silver or Bronze awards, and five will win Honorable Mentions. Winners receive from $1,000 to $10,000 donations made to the charity of their choice.

An awards ceremony for the winners will be held during the 2008 International Builders' Show in Orlando in February.

For the complete award description and entry form, click here (nahb.org/builderachievement).

For more information, e-mail Gwyn Donohue at NAHB, or call her at 800-368-5242 x8447.
