Summer is starting to wind down, but we are definitely still feeling the heat! I hope you all enjoy the last part of the season with family and friends.
We recently held our annual summer events in late July. The BUILD-PAC Summer Social took place the evening of July 30th at the Eagles Club in East Grand Forks and the Summer Board Meeting was held at the Olive Ann Hotel in Grand Forks on July 31st. Special Guest, NAHB’s Immediate Past Chairman of the Board Alicia Huey, attended and we were so happy to have her stop by our great state! All proceeds benefited BUILD-PAC, NAHB’s bipartisan political arm, which helps elect pro-housing, pro-business candidates to federal office. We were so happy to have local members, statewide members, staff and special guests attend. Thank you to the FORX staff and directors for helping us with this great event! We had great food catered by member company, Spud Jr.
NAHB’s Association Management Conference (AMC) is coming up soon in Salt Lake City, August 20-22. This is a premier professional development conference for HBA Executive Officers (EOs)/CEOs and staff. At AMC, EOs and HBA staff gather to learn, create a community of HBA peers to consult with, and share ideas and walk away with actionable steps to create a stronger and more profitable association.
