Congratulations to this year’s Association Excellence Awards – HBA Award winners who delivered outstanding home builders association programming and initiatives throughout 2021.
The recipients — selected from a pool of more than 120 applicants — represent achievements in six pillars: Communications, Education, Government Affairs, HBA Operations, Membership and Revenue.
"The work product created by the local and state HBAs throughout our Federation never ceases to amaze me. The sheer cumulative effort embodied by all that submitted for AEA awards is beyond impressive," said Brian Miller, EOC President and EVP of the BIA of Northern Kentucky.
"During these ever-changing and challenging times in which we find ourselves, it takes grit, determination, innovation, and a spirit of entrepreneurship to successfully navigate the headwinds that face associations today. The volunteers, leaders, and staff teams that represent the 2021 winners should take pride in knowing that they embody the true excellence we see day in and day out to run a vibrant and successful association. Well done!" Miller added.
