The HBAM staff has been hard at work planning this year's annual state convention.  We are very excited to be at a beach venue and have big things planned for everyone.  This year's theme is " Get Your Game On"!  The atmosphere is sure to be fun, yet competitive at times and even tremendous during the battle for this year's Volleyball Champ!

After our committee meetings are conducted on Monday, June 25th, the FUN will begin with our Kick-Off Welcome Party sponsored by Trustmark National Bank.  This is a time to catch up with your fellow home builder friends, take a few pictures or a spin on the dance floor.

There is a lot to do while at Perdido Beach.  You may play a round of golf, tour the local art center, go sightseeing for dolphin pods, play in the ocean or just hang out by the pool.  Though, you will want to be ready to get your GLOW on.  That's right, Glow!  When the sun sets and the camp fire is blazing, it will be time to gather around, enjoy s'mores and Glow in the Dark games for all ages. Our Candyland Kids Party will feature many games, crafts, movies, pizza and LOADS of FUN!  You will have to drag them away when it's time to go.

As with every year, we will honor the newest inductee to the MS Housing Hall of Fame sponsored by AmFed Insurance.

Listed below is more information on our major events and activities for this year's convention.  If you have any, please do not hesitate to contact the HBAM (state) office by calling 601.969.3446 and speak with Lisa at ext. 101.
