NAHB Federation Unites to Express Appreciation for HBA Staff
During NAHB’s inaugural HBA Staff Appreciation Week, members and colleagues expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the hard work and dedication of HBA executive officers and staff.
Throughout the week, NAHB collected more than 60 “Shout-Outs,” notes and photos of recognition of HBA staff, submitted by members and colleagues from all corners of the Federation. The Shout-Outs reflected the many ways HBA staff work tirelessly for their members – from hosting special events that bring members together, advocating for home building in their communities and fostering a warm and inviting atmosphere at their associations – HBA staff do not go unnoticed. Members and staff also shared messages and photos on social media.
One member said, “We want to take a moment to recognize the incredible hard work and dedication of John and Tori, the true heart and soul of the Space Coast Home Builders and Contractors Association. Day in and day out, they put in countless hours to assist our members, coordinate events, and create a welcoming environment for all – whether they’re new to the association or long-time members...”
Another wrote, “Today, we’re celebrating our incredible Executive Officer, Andrew Crane! Andrew works tirelessly week after week to bring innovative ideas and countless opportunities for education, advocacy, and networking to (the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Western Massachusetts). His commitment to growing our membership and ensuring that each event and program truly benefits our members is unmatched....”
On Wednesday, Nov. 13, all NAHB staff participated in “Staff Calling Day” and contacted local and state associations to express their appreciation for HBA Staff across the Federation. Also during the week, The Executive Officers Council hosted exclusive webinars featuring NAHB’s Chief Economist, Dr. Robert Dietz, and NAHB’s advocacy team. In addition, EOs shared their insights on association management and leadership in interviews published daily on the HBA Staff Appreciation Week page.
The next HBA Staff Appreciation Week will take place on Nov. 3-7, 2025.
