Home Builders Association of Greater Springfield has been recognized for its outstanding Membership Event with an Award of Excellence from the Executive Officers Council (EOC) of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
“We are honored the hard work of our officers, staff, and members have been recognized with this Association Excellence Award,” said Matt Bailey, president of the Springfield HBA. “The initiative put forth to make the most of our networking events and opportunities is a remarkable demonstration of how our organization supports its members.”
The Springfield HBA was recognized with this award after implementing a package for HBA members to sponsor networking events, and therein increase membership attendance. Within a month of implementing this new strategy, the remaining networking events of 2013 had been assigned sponsors, and there was a waiting list for 2014. This effort helped increase member attendance and engagement.
The Association Excellence Awards is an annual program designed to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of state and local home builders’ associations and executive officers in the field of association management. EOC membership is comprised of the staff executives who direct nearly 800 NAHB-affiliated state and local home builders’ associations representing more than 140,000 home builders in communities across the United States.
“The Association Excellence Awards recognize the outstanding effort, commitment and achievement an executive officer and an association’s membership have made,” said Matt Morrow, president of the EOC and executive officer of the Greater Birmingham Association of Builders in Irondale, Ala.”These awards are well deserved and represent a true showcase of the outstanding work of home builders’ associations around the country.”
The winning entries have been added to a searchable directory of AEA winning entries so that other executives and associations across the country can access and learn from them in order to provide better service to their own members and community.
