FUTURE BUILDERS OF AMERICA LEADERSHIP SUMMIT!

We are two months out from our Annual Leadership Summit and it is shaping up to be our best event EVER!  We have 93 students from 15 schools registered so far – our max capacity is 96.    With that in mind, we are in need of bringing on more sponsors to pay for the cost. Our average cost per person is $500 and the participants contribute only $175.   We have been doing really well with bringing on sponsors but we are still about $20,000 short of our goal.  Some of you have already sponsored the Summit through your HBA and we really appreciate that.  If you haven’t, we do hope you will consider it. Thank you for all you do for our students and to promote FBA in your communities!  For information on how to support the students please contact: Cindy Hall Director, Future Builders of America Home Builders Institute 772-370-4713

CONGRATULATIONS! to our FBA Students who participated in the Student Build Competition at IBS in Orlando! They received a congratulatory reception from Chuck Fowke, 2021-2022 NAHB Chairman of the Board, and Greg Ugalde, 2019 NAHB Chairman of the Board.
