State and local home builders associations’ (HBAs) executive officers and staff always go the extra mile to support members, the industry and their communities. In recognition of their outstanding service, each year, NAHB recognizes HBAs who have delivered top-notch service and deployed successful programs within the past year with the Association Excellence Awards (AEA).
The 2023 HBA AEA recipients — selected from a pool of 92 applicants — represent achievements in six pillars: Communications, Education, Government Affairs, HBA Operations, Membership and Revenue. View the full list of winners.
“I am inspired by the outstanding achievements of our local associations that won AEA honors this year. Their dedication to excellence, innovation and community impact sets a high standard for all of us,” said Natalie Fryer, Executive Officers Council president and executive officer of the HBA of Fayetteville. “These associations are shining examples of what can be accomplished with vision, hard work, and a commitment to quality. Congratulations to all the award-winning associations for their well-deserved recognition. Your accomplishments not only benefit your members but also enhance the entire Federation.”
The HBA Award winners will be joined by the winners of the individual awards and recognized at the Association Management Conference in Salt Lake City, Aug. 20-22, 2024.
