Monica Caruso 
SNHBA Public Affairs Director Monica Caruso will retire from the association at the end of the year after 37 years of service.  
 
The association hired her in 1980 as editor of the monthly "Silver Spike" newspaper, and later, as editor of the annual "Homer Awards" program magazine. In October 1999, she joined the association full-time as the director of public affairs.
 
In addition to media and public relations' duties, Caruso manages the association's events, including the popular and successful spring and fall golf tournaments. She produces the monthly Builder Brief e-newsletter and social media posts. In 2016, she re-instated the education program offered by the National Association of Home Builders. She is the staff liaison to the association's Golf, Promotions and Sales and Marketing committees.  
 
"Monica has contributed significantly to the positive image and branding of the association in our community, and serves as a valuable source of institutional knowledge. She has earned the respect and admiration of our members. We wish her success in her future endeavors," said SNHBA Executive Director Nat Hodgson.
