Announcing the HBAGTA Foundation!
|
The HBAGTA is a Trade Association and recognized as a 501(c)6. In short, kind of like a non-profit for profit. A 501(c)3 was formed to focus efforts on charitable efforts with workforce development falling under this category. Grants can be received, and donations can be a tax deduction for donors.
The Board of Directors of the newly formed Home Builders Association of the Grand Traverse Area Foundation met for the first time in February to discuss and plan the Foundation's vision and direction
|
|
|
The Board includes: Scott Duensing of DesignCraft Homes, President; Marcy Hurst of MAC Custom Homes, Vice President; Ed Bailey of Northwestern Michigan College, Secretary; Terry Harper of Precision Plumbing and Heating, Treasurer; Dean Adams of Bay Area Contracting; Ed Beuerle of Northern Building Supply; Patrick Lamb of the TBA Career Tech Center; Rick MacKinnon of Andersen Windows; Caleb Norris of Norris Design Productions; Daniel Paulson of Daniel Paulson Builders; and Mike Tucker of Kingsley Lumber.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to advance sustainable careers in housing through fundraising, charitable contributions and workforce development.
