Dear Members,
Shannon Coker

Advocacy is one of the main objectives of the Home Builders Association of Mississippi.

Through establishing and building relationships,  HBAM educates state and national legislators on the importance of the housing industry and protects legislative interests.

During the 2017 legislative session, the Home Builders Association of Mississippi will continue their advocacy efforts to promote, advance and protect the housing industry.

Shannon Coker
