Bloomington-Normal Area Home Builders Association

Congrats to our Student Chapter from Illinois State University who finished a respectable 19 out of 37 for their presentation at the International Builders Show in Orlando last week. I was on hand for the presentation and they did a wonderful job on both presentation and question and answer portion. Good job Dr. Rick Boser and his team!

Thursday, January 6th, 12 noon at the BNAHBA office. NICOR GAS will be here to present their new procedures for construction in McLean County. A MUST FOR ALL BUILDERS. Cost is free to active members. Reservations are required. RSVP to bnahba@comcast.net

Congrats to the BNAHBA for winning two awards at the EOC Conference this summer in Santa Fe, NM. The first Association Excellence Award was for Best Social Media Effort for our Blog Spot/Website...the second was for Best Community Project for our efforts on a new shelter at the Miller Park SprayGround and for a new exhibit at the zoo for the Red Panda. A check from the BNAHBA for $1,650 was presented to Miller Park Zoo and several BNAHBA Board of Director members as well as the Mayor and Zoo Board members were on hand to accept it. I am so proud to be a part of this amazing organization and all the people who make good things happen!
