If you had 15 minutes in front of the NCHBA membership, what would you say about membership recruitment/retention? You’ve heard it said “There is strength in numbers.” The North Carolina Home Builders Association exerts a strong influence to improve our industry across this county. This is due to the dedication and hard work of our membership over many years. The industry as a whole share in the benefits earned by active members – so get involved, participate, support your staff in Raleigh. – They help us “in the know” about proposed changes in the laws that work against us. |
