HUG A SPIKE TODAY! It's National Spike Appreciation Month!
November is Spike Appreciation Month, a time to thank the dedicated “Spikes” of OMB for their outstanding achievements in member recruitment and retention.

What Is A Spike, You Ask?
Well, before becoming a Spike, you are a Spike candidate. That means you have earned between one and five and a half credits. Spike credits are earned by recruiting and retaining NAHB and Council members. Once you earn your sixth credit, you become an official NAHB Spike!
Do you want to learn more about becoming a Spike?
Join us for the next Membership/Spike Committee Meeting on December 9th at 4:00pm at the OMB Office.

Contact Jenn at membership@omb.org for more information.
