News from the TBA
A Message from Mark Kessler, as TBA President
I hope you enjoyed the Holidays and are ready and recharged to start a new year. I am honored to serve you and the Tallahassee Builders Association as the 2021 President.
Many thanks to our past President, Brian Will, the 2020 Executive Committee and the Board of Directors for their commitment to the Association. Because of their dedication, the TBA enjoyed a successful 2020 even with the challenges the year presented to us.
Jodi Sasse has proven to be a wonderful addition to the TBA family. As Executive Officer, her commitment to the Association and its members along with her leadership skills, enthusiasm, and drive to guide the TBA to new levels of success are a joy to work with. Combine this with the solid dedication and professionalism of Linn Glass and the TBA is poised for a successful year!
I am excited and have confidence that the 2021 Executive Committee and Board of Directors, along with Jodi and Linn, will achieve new levels of success for the TBA. 2021 is sure to be a great year. Members will enjoy the same events, programs and committees as they have in the past and a few new to the TBA.
As the New Year begins, I encourage each of you to take advantage of all that the TBA has to offer in 2021.
- Schedule time to work on yourself and on your business. The TBA is a great resource.
- Attend Governmental Affairs meetings (very possibly the most valuable meeting each month).
- Learn from the resources and educational opportunities available from the Remodelers Council, Green Council and other TBA offerings.
- Promote your business through the Parade of Homes, Remodelers Showcase, Homes for the Holidays and the new TBA Home and Garden Show.
- Take a moment and make a commitment to help your association by recruiting just one new member in the first quarter of 2021.
Together as a group and through active participation we can be a driving force for the good of our industry.
I encourage you to get involved and remember to have fun!
Yours in service to the TBA
Mark Kessler
