HBAGTA HISTORY CORNER
COMMITTED TO A HIGHER STANDARD FOR 50 YEARS!

Humble Beginnings
Getting Off the Ground
|
In 1969 seven builders got together for lunch at the Elk River Inn to discuss starting a Home Builders Association in Traverse City. Saginaw builder, Ivan Foerster would fly his airplane to Traverse City and assisted this group in their organizational efforts.
On January 19, 1970 a new affiliated local called the Home Builder Association of Greater Traverse Area met for the first time. Of the 26 charter members, 16 were builders and 10 were associates. Builder Gordon Converse of
Wanigan Builders
served as the first president and the group quickly grew to 45 members.
In the very early days, the association office was in the homes of staffers Chauncey Nunnelley and Audra McGee. Chauncey “Dick” Nunnelley went on to become the first paid Executive Officer of the HBAGTA. During this period, Red Mill Lumber hosted many of the early Board of Directors and general membership meetings.

The HBA upstairs conference room is named in Dick Nunnelley's honor.
