A Message from our President
Happy June! There is lots of great information to share so I am going to jump right in….
Golf: it was AWESOME!! A huge Thank You to Peter Dolloff and his whole committee, Lisa our EO, the volunteers, and the staff at Passaconaway. Everyone had a great time and a record-breaking amount of money was raised to keep our organization running smoothly. Be on the lookout for the pics on our Facebook page. Congratulations to all and thank you to our sponsors and players. If you still have the golf itch, check out below on how to get involved with our Fall Golf Tournament this September.
Membership: at our last State Board Meeting, Matt Mayberry, our Executive Vice President, let us know that we have exceeded 500 members for our organization statewide. This is amazing news. Many more people are seeing the value in our organization and what is does for our industry as a whole and for their businesses and they are signing up. Please welcome all of our new members. If you see someone new at an event, please walk up and say hello. Welcome them to our wonderful builder family that we have. On behalf of the whole board, we are honored and grateful to serve you.
Legislative news: We are excited to share that our Air Exchange Bill has passed both houses in Concord and is on its way to Governor Sununu’s desk for his signature to become law! This is a great accomplishment that our members wanted for health and safety reasons for homeowners here in New Hampshire. The old rates of exchange were causing health concerns and building safety issues. Thanks for everyone who reached out to their Legislators as well as the State Staff for working hard to explain a complicated issue to lawmakers. Even with that big victory, the battle rages on (and has gone national) over the 2021 Energy Codes, or as we like to call it “the Green Energy Tax.” The Staff is staying on top of this issue and they are supported by the Government Affairs Committee. We won the first round and we are poised to take the second round as well. A huge thank you to our members at Southern (that’s you!) for the extra support that we sent to the state to wage this battle on our behalf. We are lucky enough to be in a position to increase our support to fight for what is right and what we need in our industry. Thank you!
We have some great upcoming events and we hope that you have already signed up for them and put them on your calendar: August will be great fun with our Harbor Cruise in Portsmouth. This is a member appreciation event so we have kept ticket prices very low and we are grateful to Atlantic Builders Supply, Belletete’s, Ed O’s and Messina’s Flooring for their sponsorships of this event to make that happen. You guys are awesome! Come join us on the water for drinks, music, dinner, and fellowship. Sponsorships are still available!!
Thank you very much for your support of our organization. We are grateful for each and every one of our members. This is a truly special organization and that is made possible by each and every one of you.
Cheers!
