MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
FORREST M. WALL, CAE

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP:
USE YOUR NEW ROSTER & BUYERS GUIDE TO DO BUSINESS WITH HBA & AAM MEMBERS

The new printed edition of the HBA and AAM Roster & Buyers Guide will debut at the Spring Home & Garden Show this weekend. It will also be mailed to each HBA and AAM member. You should receive it at your business address within the next two weeks.

You can use this publication to make your Association membership even more valuable. Published annually, it has a dual purpose: to put members in touch with each other and to make it easy for your potential customers to identify and contact you.

The Buyers Guide is organized so you can find other members easily with distinct sections for:
• Builders & Builder-Remodelers

• Remodelers

• Apartment Owners & Managers

 • Suppliers & Services.

Each entry includes full contact information. If you are an Associate member looking to contact Builders, for instance, the publication offers you a comprehensive list and everything you need to visit them, call them, check out their website or send an email.

The same is true if you are a Builder or Remodeler. When you need a supplier or a service organization, we encourage you to reach out to a member to give them the opportunity to bid on your projects.

Members doing business with other members is a smart way for you to make buying decisions and it is an important factor in keeping your Association strong. The more we connect and help each other succeed, the more HBA and AAM can achieve on your behalf.

So that consumers can reach you, we also circulate the publication through HBA's three annual Home Shows and update it quarterly online at www.builders.org.

I look forward to working with you to help you make the most of your membership benefits and to introduce new programs and services to meet the challenges you face in our ever changing business climate.
