What our members say about the LCHBA..."Becoming a member of the LCHBA is one the wisest decisions we've made at Digital Solutions. Not only are the networking opportunities and the contacts we've made incredible, but we've also had a chance to help our community through the Association's charity work. We would not be as successful as we are today without our membership in the LCHBA." "If you were to ask me what the LCHBA means to me, I would say is that I enjoy being a part of an organization where I can play a role in shaping the organization by volunteering my time to serve on the executive committee, board, and event committees. You have to be an active member to benefit from the association. By being a member and being involved, so many opportunities become available to make new business contacts, make new friends, and grow our business. Personally, I have learned a lot about how organizations work and have honned my skills as a leader by serving on the executive committee and board of directors." "I have been a member of the LCHBA for eight years and have been active on several committees. Since I am a realtor, the Sping Showcase of Homes and Fall Parade of Homes committees have been especially fun. By taking on an active roll in the LCHBA, I have made so many friends as well as business connections. I encourage everyone to join and be involved!" "Maxine and I were LCHBA associate members for years as Custom Home Design by Max. Our membership in the LCHBA was critical to our success, because it not only got our name out there but we received a lot of business from LCHBA builder members. Our involvement as an associate member enabled us to get to know member builders, subcontractors, suppliers, and service providers, which gave us the network base to launch our building business. We have found that clients view you and your business as being more reputable and professional if you are a member of the LCHBA. Until we joined the LCHBA as builders and got involved by serving on committees we did not realized all the building industry issues out there that could greatly affect our business, and what the LCHBA and NMHBA was doing about them. If you are not a member and involved you have no idea what's going on in the building industry. We feel very strongly that every business needs to belong to and get involved in their trade association. Without the LCHBA, NMHBA, and NAHB the building industry and our businesses would not be what they are today." "In 2004, the LCHBA Building Industry Forum and staff worked on over thirty industry issues important to our success as builders, subcontractors, suppliers, and service providers. They studied local ordinances, building codes, and state legislation, and developed positions on them. They met with city and county staffs, local councilors and commissioners, as well as with state and national elected officials to try to influence the outcome of legislation to benefit our industry." "My relationship with the LCHBA over the past twenty years has been a very positive experience. The best trade show my business has ever exhibited at is the LCHBA's annual home improvement and lifestyle show. The amount of public exposure I get for my business and the number of potential customers I generate at the show is simply phenomenal. The showcase and parade of homes have been very profitable venues for me. They enabled me to garner a lot of business with area builders. The LCHBA staff is professional and helpful, provides excellent support for my business, and gives great member customer service."
