Lucas Gibbs - Owner of Lucas Gibbs Build

Hey HBA Members…

It is an honor to assume the role as your new President of the Big Country HBA.I feel extremely fortunate to be handed a steady and proactive organization that is well positioned to take on the challenges facing our industry. I’d like to thank Cleve Tutt for doing a phenomenal job with some very tough circumstances. I am confident the HBA will continue its mission of promoting, educating, and advocating the advancement of the residential construction industry while serving our community.

The HBA grew significantly in September, adding 29 new members to our association. The Membership Captains and their team members did a great job on this membership drive and we couldn’t have done it without them. If you are a new member and this is your first newsletter, I strongly encourage you to get involved.

My focus as your President is to continue to build upon this incredible momentum. I want to provide you, as valued members, the best opportunities for your membership investment. Our Association will provide you the forum to build relationships through our various networking events and we will continue to advocate for our industry through our working relationship with the Texas Association of Builders and HOMEPAC.

I am challenging all Builders and Associates to maximize your membership by getting involved. Being involved opens the door for new opportunities and new professional growth, which ultimately creates the value in your HBA membership.

Speaking of getting involved, here are a few upcoming events to put on your calendar. The PWB Shrimp and Cornhole Event on October 17th, HBA After Hours & New Member Mixer October 22nd and the final membership luncheon of the year is scheduled for Thursday November 5th. We will finish off the year with our Annual Bowling Tournament in November and the Christmas Party is scheduled for December 4th. We will be sending you information on these events very soon, so be sure to keep an eye out for the emails and Facebook posts. If you haven't liked our FB page, I encourage you to do so as we are constantly posting updates and important information for you to be aware of.

I look forward to leading this organization in the year ahead!

Sincerely,

Lucas Gibbs

Big Country HBA President

SEPTEMBER STATEWIDE MEMBERSHIP DRIVE RESULTS...

29 NEW MEMBERS - 29 STRONG VOICES

The BCHBA in conjunction with the Texas Association of Builders hosted its portion of the Statewide Membership Drive in the month of September. Thanks to the hard work of our Team Captains and their team members, we were able to add 29 new members to our association. That means we have added 29 more voices to the already 30,000 state and national professional members who are FIGHTING for our industry.

The Big Country HBA is the advocate for the housing industry in Abilene and the Big Country. As the voice of the building industry, your HBA is deeply involved with the Big Country and local building officials. We work hand in hand with local governments and other organizations to ensure that the homebuilding process is predictable, reasonable, affordable and ESSENTIAL.

We are so HAPPY the following businesses decided to partner with us. Thank You!
