Membership Recruiting Tips!

Now that summer is over and we are all getting back into our routines, it’s time to once again start thinking about bringing in more new members! As of August, our membership is up 32 members over August of 2023, so let’s keep that momentum going! Here are some benefits to keep in mind when you are talking to potential new members:

Being a member grants you access to special discounts on things like insurance, fuel, and building products-check out the NAHB Savings Program
When you join, you are automatically added to our online directory, so right from the start your company name is available to the public.
You may be eligible for the health insurance or ROII program through BIAW
Easy to attend networking events and meetings
Education opportunities through OMB, BIAW and NAHB

If you have any questions or would like to join the Membership committee, please contact Jenn at membership@omb.org.
