News from the TBA A Message from Mark Kessler, as TBA President It is hard to believe August is here! We hope everyone is enjoying their summer! This past month many attended the Southeast Builder's Conference in Orlando. SEBC is a great opportunity for education and to acquire new skills to become a better business person. If you didn't get a chance to attend last month, be sure to mark your calendars next year to attend. Next years Conference is scheduled for August 3-4, 2022 in Kissimmee, Florida. Also, this past month was TBA's 33rd Annual Saltwater Fishing Tournament. Thank you to all our sponsors and participates that made the day a great success! Remember to take advantage of inviting a potential new member as a guest to one of the many great events TBA offers and remember the theme this year is Recruit 1 in '21; Retain 1 in '21.
