The North Dakota Association of Builders would like to celebrate and recognize our invaluable Associate Members! In 1981 the National Association of Home Builders designated September as Associate Member Appreciation Month and since then September has become our time to celebrate the contributions our Associate members make to our industry every day. These members constitute approximately two-thirds of NAHB’s membership. Associates provide the support, trade skills and materials that every housing professional needs to do business every day. Thank you, Associates!
Various Executive Officers and staff across the state attended NAHB’s Association Management Conference in Atlanta, August 19-21. We all had a great time learning from our peers from across the country and connecting with one another to gain insight on supporting our membership throughout North Dakota. NAHB’s Fall Leadership Meetings will take place in Denver on November 17-19, and the meetings will be held at the Hyatt Regency Denver.
Registration is now open for the 2026 International Builders’ Show® (IBS). The show will take place in Orlando for the “final” time on February 17-19. Go to www.buildersshow.com to find out more information, register and access the NDAB hotel block at the Rosen Plaza Hotel. Our hotel block fills up quickly, so don’t hesitate to book your room as soon as possible. NEW -- become an IBS Ambassador! Are you a veteran IBS attendee who has mastered navigating the show and you want to help fellow members? By becoming an IBS Ambassador, you can share your Builders’ Show expertise and the benefits of attending the show annually.
NDAB’s fall events will be held in Grand Forks, November 4-5. Be on the lookout this fall for official email invitations with registration! There will be committee meetings and the Annual Banquet on November 4 along with the fall board meeting on November 5. The Annual Banquet will be held at the Ralph Engelstad Arena and the meetings at the Hilton Garden Inn. We encourage all members to make the trip to Grand Forks as we induct our 2026 Board of Directors, 2026 President Nate Applegren, and announce our 2025 award winners!
