November is Spike Appreciation Month! Do you know what the SPIKE Club is?! This is NAHB’s most valuable tool for recruitment and retention. Plus, Spikes can take advantage of a variety of benefits that come because of your recruitment efforts. Each year, Spikes who have recruited at least one new builder and/or associate member receive two tickets to the Closing Spike Concert (2025 – Country Artist Chris Janson) at the International Builders’ Show (IBS). In addition, Spikes who have recruited at least five new builder and/or associate members receive an invite to the VIP section at the concert where you can enjoy complimentary food and drinks.  Please visit with me if you’re unsure of your Spike status or how to “join” the club!

NDAB’s fall events are almost here! They will be held in Williston, November 11^th-13^th. The BUILD-PAC Bourbon event is on November 11^th, committee meetings & the Annual Banquet on November 12^th, and the board meeting on November 13^th.

NDAB will have a presence at the state capitol each day that the legislature is in session and team NDAB will include our lobbyist Lisa Feldner with Integrity Public Affairs.
