The HBAWS Builder Committee is a valuable resource for information about our industry.  It is a useful business building tool for you. The committee is open to all builder members.  Monthly meetings are usually casual lunch meetings for learning from, and sharing with, fellow builder members and guest speakers.

Meetings will have a 20-30 minute presentation with the option to have an open forum discussion if a speaker cannot make a meeting date.  The meetings are held at the HBA office.  A total of 10 monthly meetings will be held the first Tuesday of the month, except when meetings will be held the second Tuesday due to scheduling conflicts or holidays.

A representative from your company may attend in your place and guests can be invited, (RSVPs for guests will be accepted on a room availability basis and at a charge of $15 to cover the lunch).
