Next Committee Meeting: Tuesday, September 6th @ 9:30am, HBA Office
Next General Membership Meeting September 20th @ 11:30 am Smilie's Restaurant, 5725 Jefferson Highway
The Membership Committee is ecstatic about all of the new Builder members that are joining our chapter these past few months. We are doing tremendous thanks to the SIF and its VIP program. The VIP program essentially is drawing in new builders to join the association by paying its first year dues! Since the program started we have been adding in average about 10-15 new builder members every month... This is fantastic!!
We strongly encourage you to come to Smilie's and take in a General Membership Meeting. We are there every month, and for $15 dollars you can get a great meal and hear a great speaker while mingling with your fellow new and veteran members. The next GMM is on Tuesday, Sept 20 @ Smile's in Harahan. Speaker to discuss Mortgage and Construction Lending. We hope to see you all there!! .
