Registration Now Open for 2024 Spring Membership Drive

Membership
Published

Registration is now open for NAHB’s annual membership drive, with prize opportunities for participating home builders associations (HBAs).

From April 1 to June 30, members of local HBAs across the nation participate in the drive by reaching out to coworkers, colleagues and friends in the industry to promote the numerous benefits of membership. Whether they want to save money on business expenses, expand their knowledge with industry-leading education or network with more people in the industry, members can receive a significant return on their investment.

  • Member-Exclusive Savings — The NAHB Member Savings Program offers exclusive deals with popular vendors to help members save on personal and business expenses, and saved NAHB members more than $40 million last year. Active&Fit Direct is the latest company to join NAHB’s lineup of prominent savings programs. Learn more.
  • Industry-Specific Education — Membership unlocks discounts on numerous instructor-led courses and webinars to help members stay in the know and ahead of the competition. Courses cover a range of topics, including business management, building technology, housing economics and strategic marketing. Learn more.
  • Numerous Networking Opportunities — With more than 140,000 members worldwide and countless events throughout the year, there are always opportunities to expand your network. Catching up with local builders at HBA meetings, attending the annual International Builders’ Show (IBS) and participating in councils such as NAHB Remodelers and Professional Women in Building are some of the best ways to build business. Members can also get access to one-on-one mentorship virtually with NAHB’s Mentor Match program. Learn more.

Incentives for Successful Membership Drives

NAHB is once again offering local HBAs that meet recruitment goals during the drive a free Expo+Education pass and a travel stipend of up to $1,000 to the 2025 IBS in Las Vegas. HBAs with 7% or higher net growth in Builder and Associate members will receive two complimentary Expo+Education passes and two travel stipends of $1,000.

A free pass to IBS opens the door to the home building industry’s premier annual event, where tens of thousands of attendees meet with vendors, network with colleagues and attend educational sessions. 

Participating HBAs must register by April 30. For more information and to register, visit the Membership Drive page (member login required).
