#1 Help is One Call Away
Government doesn’t always respond or move at the speed business es expect or need. Regulatory issues, permitting issuance and delays, licensing, cumbersome inspections or other regulatory challenges negatively impact our members on a daily basis. 

We can help! Don’t wait for these types of problems to exacerbate . Call us and let us leverage the voice of the building industry on behalf of your business. Together, we can improve your business experience in Southern Arizona. Please contact Shawn Cote today.  
#2 Be Heard: Take This Quick Survey on our Community
The Arizona Daily Star has teamed up with Strongpoint Marketing to create a new poll in an effort to take the pulse of Tucson.
The poll will assemble a diverse online panel of Southern Arizonans to answer a short set of questions each month about issues facing the community.
The first installment deals with the upcoming Tucson city election and can be found at  Tucson.com/CommunityPoll

At the end of the online poll, you’ll be asked if you’d like to join the Star’s panel. The goal is to get as many panel participants as possible, in order to reflect the collective opinions of Southern Arizonans.
Your personal information will be used only for the purposes of making the poll as accurate as possible and will not be shared with any other organizations or used in any other way for marketing purposes.

#5 Spotlight Member - Chris Laria
Our Spotlight Member this week is Chris Laria from The Planning Center - a multi-disciplinary planning and landscape architecture firm. The Planning Center provides community visioning, urban design, land planning, entitlement work and more for public and private entities.

Chris has been with The Planning Center for 2 years as both a planner and landscape designer. Here's what Chris had to say:

"I am fortunate that I get to work on a project from entitlements and compliance plans and through the construction process, something a lot of consultants are not able to do". "It puts a much larger emphasis and desire on creating and being a part of top-notch projects". "It is one of the most rewarding parts of being with TPC". "SAHBA is great for the home building community, but I like being involved with SAHBA because it is an association that supports more than just us members".
