As the year wraps up, we wanted to take a moment to reach out and say thank you.
NADRA exists because of the people who stay engaged, ask questions, share experiences, and care deeply about the future of this industry. That steady commitment often happens behind the scenes, but it’s what keeps this Association moving in the right direction.
We hope the days ahead give you some space to rest, reconnect, and enjoy time away from the job site and the day-to-day demands of work. However you spend this season, we hope it brings you a sense of renewal and perspective.
Thank you for being part of NADRA and for contributing in ways both big and small throughout the year. We’re grateful for you and look forward to what’s ahead.
Wishing you a peaceful holiday season and all the best in the coming year.
With Appreciation,
NADRA HQ,
Michael (Pops) & Margie Beaudry
Mindi, Heather, Jenn, and Stephanie
NADRA Board of Directors

Early Bird Pricing + Hotel Cutoff Ends Friday, December 26th
The 2026 NADRA Summit & Awards Gala in Clearwater Beach is just two weeks away, and final planning is underway.
If you plan to attend, please complete your registration as soon as possible. Ticket pricing increases on Friday!
Final attendee counts are critical for badge printing and food planning, and day-of registration creates challenges for both the NADRA team and the venue.
If you’re unable to join us in person, we’ll be streaming the Awards Gala live, so you can still be part of the evening and celebrate alongside the industry.
Thank you for helping us keep everything running smoothly.
