Committee & Council Updates
Remodelers Council Roy Olsen, 2011 Chair
Next Meeting: Wednesday, January 5 @ 12pm Location: HBA Office, 2424 N. Arnoult Road, Metairie As 2011 begins, the Remodelers Council is excited about all the things we've got planned! We've developed a Task Force to partner with a local agency to assist in community service in order to give back to the cities we call home. We've also appointed our Vice-Chair, Steve Wobbema, as the representative to the HBA Education Committee to advocate for more classes geared toward the remodeling industry. We will also be continuing with our Lead Paint Round Tables, as well as scheduling such open discussions for any other issues that may arise in the coming year in our industry. I'd like to invite any HBA member who has not been to a Remodelers Council meeting to come to the next one to see what we're all about. They are held on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 12pm - locations vary, so be sure to check with the HBA!
