The holidays are right around the corner, which is a great time to reflect on our member accomplishments from the past year. We look forward to 2025 with what the association can achieve in the new year!
NDAB had a busy November with our fall events in Williston. The week started out on Veterans Day with a BUILD-PAC event where we hosted a “Bourbon and Bullets” class taught by the Bismarck Bourbon Baron, Scott Meske, along with a social and silent auction. NAHB’s Chairman of the Board, Carl Harris, was in attendance throughout the week for our events and meetings. We were so happy to have Carl back in North Dakota!
Day two began with committee meetings and ended with our Annual Banquet at McCody Concrete. Thank you to Williston Mayor Klug for stopping by our event! We began our program by thanking our top 2024 PAC Contributors and Lifetime Spike Club members.
Our 2024 Award winners were announced which included Builder of the Year (David Reid, Radiant Homes, BIA-RRV), Associate of the Year (Joyce Balstad, Syverson Tile & Stone, BIA-RRV), BEAM (Joe Hillerson, Boulder Homes, BMHBA), and the Member Recruitment Award (Forx Builders Association, Executive Officer Katie Boespflug). Congrats to our winners!
We were lucky to have former Carl Harris do the installation of our 2025 Board of Directors and our 2025 President, Bob Horab (McCody Concrete). The evening included music from Gettin’ Outta Dodge, great food from Pit 105, and a silent auction with proceeds benefiting the NDAB Scholarship Fund and NDAB-PAC.
The events came to an end with our fall board meeting on day three. We want to thank everyone for making the trip to Williston! A special thank you to the Western Area Builders Association (EO Sabrina Ramey) and the team at McCody Concrete for hosting us and assistance with planning, decorating, and helping to ensure our meetings & banquet ran smoothly.
I would like to thank our outgoing NDAB board members from 2024, Joe Vetter & Rory Anderson (BMHBA), David Reid (BIA-RRV), Jim Sandbeck (FORX), Casey Schriock & Marie Hallof (MAB), and Lisa Patton & Tom Freeman (WABA). Thank you for sacrificing time away from your business and family to support the association.
