HPBAC
It's almost time to renew your membership

Fall has begun and we hope you are having a great start to the busy heating season. This is also the time of year that HPBAC sends out renewal notices to members and contacts prospective members to encourage them to support the industry association.

In 2012 HPBAC staff and the many volunteers on our committees have been busy implementing changes that resulted from the Reorganization Task Force Recommendations as well as completing the work of the committees.

There has been a great deal of activity in the area of Codes and Standards with proposed changes to the National Building Code, the P.4 Standard as well as the NSPS and DOE challenges in the U.S.

All hearth products are facing regulatory challenges. Some are threatened with extinction. The potential effects on hearth retailers could be devastating.  Your trade association is your voice with government. Its members and staff attend meetings every week on your behalf. They are working hard for you and they need your support. Your financial support by continuing to be members is vital.


Renewal Notices will be mailed in mid-October
Watch for your notice in the mail in the third week of October. Your 2012 membership expires on December 31st, 2012.

Manufacturer members will receive their renewal notice from HPBA in Arlington, VA.
We hope to see you at EXPO from March 13 to 16, 2013 in Orlando, Florida where we will again host our annual general meeting during Focus Canada on Thursday morning bright and early at 7:30 am. Plan to join us for a hot breakfast at 7:00 am.
 
Sincerely,
