Builder 20 Clubs Help Maximize Benefits of NAHB Membership Presented with a Silver medal last week in Association Trends' All-Media Competition, a brochure on "20 Reasons to Join an NAHB 20 Club” provides a comprehensive introduction to an innovative networking and educational program that can be a viable resource for members of NAHB. The 20 Clubs gather together similar housing professionals from non-competing markets who meet several times a year to compare notes on improving their business performance. The members compare financial information, identify trouble spots and share advice on increasing profits and improving operations. Each company’s financial results are reviewed annually by the club. “Builder 20 Clubs are a great tool that NAHB members can use to improve the way their businesses perform, and they’ve been very successful,” said NAHB President Dave Wilson. “Our goal is to add 25 new 20 Clubs in 2005, on top of the 43 we currently have in operation.” The “20 Reasons” booklet includes applications for joining any of the individual clubs. In addition to builders and remodelers, the 20 Clubs are aimed at specific NAHB constituencies, such as builders who specialize in housing for active-adult seniors, builders of multifamily apartments, land developers, urban home builders and marketing professionals. |
