Executive Officer Announcement

Hello!

I hope everyone is doing well and you are enjoying our beautiful fall weather!

I am pleased to announce that both our Tabletop Night event and the Clay Shoot were great successes! We had a combined net profit of ~$17K and exceeded profit for both events YOY. I sincerely thank those who sponsored and participated in these events!

Earlier in the month I had the honor of travelling to Washington, D.C. to the NAHB Executive Officer Orientation. What an amazing organization the NAHB is! I came home feeling very proud to be part of an institution that works tirelessly to ensure it's members and staff have resources to help them succeed and thrive. I am excited to implement some areas of growth for our local association over the next year!

As we continue on into the 4th quarter of the year, I urge you to please consider using any extra annual budget dollars your company may have remaining, to secure a sponsorship spot with HBAGS for 2024! I hope to have the 2024 updated Sponsorship Packet to you by early December.

Board Elections will be held at the 11/9/23 GMM.

As always, if you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to call or text anytime!

Sincerely,

Sarah McNeely
