One of Our Own Fights the Good Fight....

We are saddened to learn former SAHBA Chairman of the Board, Remodelers Council Chair and staff member Greg Miedema has resigned his position as Executive Officer of the Northern Colorado Home Builders Association due to declining health. Very few people are as big of an advocate for our industry or are as passionate about the mission of home builder associations than Greg. We wish him well and ask you to keep him in your thoughts and prayers. While he may be in Colorado, he’s still highly thought of and loved by many, many friends in Tucson.
