Welcome New EO to Cleburne County, AR

•  Please join me in welcoming Lea Ann Bullington as the new Executive Officer for Cleburne County HBA.  She will be at the helm in that region and also works for FL Davis Lumber in Heber Springs. She has been associated in prior years with AHBA and now is accepting another round of service in our industry. Please give her a warm welcome.

•  Save the new date October 30th for AHBA Board meeting and new location this time will be Pulaski Tech Business and Industry Center at 3303 East Roosevelt near Airport. Time and agenda coming later.

•  EVP Chatter,  Holy Cow!!!!! after attending the Association Leadership Institute in Pittsburgh I would like to inform our members I am just now settling in realizing the magnitude of housing and the responsibility we have to maintain and grow our membership.  Members thank you for allowing your local EO's that attended. The opportunity allowed for us to attend as many sessions as we could such as: Managing the Membership Experience, Social Media Deep Dive, Creating Association Karma, Branding the Association, Why your Lieutenant Governor is Important, Why My Mayor Matters, Top Ten for Membership Growth, Social Media Mistakes, Bridging the Generation Gaps, and Data Management.
Needless to say it was a lot to take in.

Lots of work to do and it might take me a little longer than anticipated but tomorrow I travel to Sherwood AR and will be presenting my luncheon message to what will probably be my largest attendance to date at 80. So wish me luck.

Tracy Catt, I have not forgot about your area of the state it's just taking me a little longer to get there.
Stephen Goad, thank you for some exciting ideas you are generating in Jonesboro.
Bruce and Martha please hang in there for Pine Bluff and I hope your golf tournament is a success.
Brenda and Sarah you are awesome website is looking awesome and I am sure our current President Jack Hales is very pleased.
Stephanie thank your efforts/hard work in Fort Smith.
Lauren and I here in Little Rock now know more about Advantech and ZIP System than ever before after attending yesterdays seminar.  Thank you for the table top display.

Local EO's somehow somewhere we are just going to have to find a time for us to get together and share what we have all learned.

Sincerely, and Please work safe and drink plenty of fluids.  I am hearing of many cases of Heat Stress across our state.

Ron Harris
Executive Vice President

The Home Builders Institute, NAHB’s training affiliate, is the largest Job Corps national trades training contractor. Given the severe labor shortage in the construction industry that is raising construction costs and harming housing affordability, funding for Job Corps is needed now more than ever. Send your letter asking them to vote for an NAHB-supported amendment from Reps. Sanford Bishop (D-GA) and Mark Amodei (R-NV) that restores full funding for the Job Corps program.

Your Voice Matters • As a member of the NAHB, AHBA, and Your Local

October 6, 2023 FROM YOUR STATE REP, Keith Wingfield, River Rock Builders You may not see what we actually do, but you will feel it in your markets soon! NAHB and all of the officers, state reps and national area chairman stay hard at work on the issues that affect you the most, usually working on codes, regulations and any other issue that affects the cost of housing. Remember that you elected officials are making these laws, regulations, codes, and other rule making……if you want to be a part of the process make sure that you answer every CALL TO ACTION so that your input is heard! Let me, your State Rep know what you need and what is affecting you the most. If I can help I will, if not I’ll send you somewhere to find the help you need! Your dues go a long way to fund this association and make sure we are not over-regulated and wiped out from codes that are not necessary. Moreover, your contributions to BUILD PAC help to ensure we elect the right people to vote the way we need them to
