#1 Coffee With...Mayor Rothschild

Mayor Rothschild joined SAHBA members last week to discuss a wide variety of topics with members.

The Mayor offered an update on the ongoing success and commitment to improve the interior residential streets in the City of Tucson. Proposition 407, the $225 million General Obligation Bond on the November 6 ballot, was also discussed at length. The Mayor gave his perspective on how important this bond will be not only to improving City parks amenities, including playgrounds, sports fields, pools, splash pads and recreation centers, but also to enhance the connectivity of the City with multi-use pathways and increased pedestrian and bicycle safety measures.

Members were further engaged on topics ranging from the future of the City owned golf courses, to public transportation, to homelessness. We appreciate the Mayor’s commitment to work with SAHBA and offer his candid insight into the challenges facing our community.

#2 No Formal Program, No Boring Speakers...The Only Agenda Item is FUN!

We hope you’ve heard, SAHBA is launching a new signature membership event: Cork & Fork!

What is Cork & Fork? This event is built around food, drinks, live music and lots of fun. The event will feature a “Wine Pull” where attendees are guaranteed to receive a bottle of wine, valued at least $20, for a $20 donation. Our goal is to raise $3,000 for Southern Arizona Construction Career Days.

We encourage you to bring family, friends and co-workers. The event is from 6p – 9p on Friday, November 9 at Monark. Stop by and say, ‘hi’ or stay for the entire time. Sign up today!

#5 Donating to a Worthy Cause

A huge thank you goes out to the sponsors and golfers who participated in our recent charity golf tournament. Your participation allowed SAHBA to make a generous donation to TMM Family Services.

TMM currently provides several programs to help make Southern Arizona a stronger, safer and healthier community. They serve at risk childern, families, veterans and seniors. Click here to learn more about the great work they are doing for Tucson!

#4 Spotlight Intern...Elise Bailey

SAHBA would like to congratulate our former intern, Elise Bailey.

Elise was an intern for SAHBA for a year and a half while she was completing her degree in Political Science at the University of Arizona.

Upon graduation, Elise took a position as the Deputy Director of Communications for the Arizona Republican Party but her long term goal was to work for the National Home Builders Association in Washington, D.C.

That goal was achieved earlier than expected and Elise recently accepted a position as the Staff Assistant for Build-PAC with NAHB. We wish her great success in her new role!

An Hour or Two of Your Time Could Shape a Student’s Future

Southern Arizona Construction Career Days is right around the corner. This event is designed to show high-school students the benefits of choosing the construction trades as a career path. To ensure we are successful in helping these kids, and to ensure our members have a pipeline of workers, we need volunteers. If you can give an hour or two of time, please contact Mike Polletta at 297-0797 or mpolletta@cadden.com.
