November 10, 2022 – The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association announced today that it is introducing a new category of membership, the billiards industry. Following a vote of approval by the Board of Directors, any manufacturer, distributor, or retailer in the industry is now eligible.



“Some of the largest manufacturers joined us at our Expo in March of 2022 in Atlanta and had a very positive experience,” noted HPBA CEO Jack Goldman. “When they approached us about becoming a part of HPBA, it made sense on both sides. Our association represents products that help make a house a comfortable home – and gaming can be a big part of that.”

All new members from this category will join the Billiard Section and get support from the professional staff.
