Only A Few Days Left for Early Bird Registration in Destin

Members can receive a discount on their Convention registration by signing up prior to May 6th. 

 

The HBAM State Convention is returning to the award winning Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa in Destin, Florida.  June 6-9, 2013 will be the dates for the largest gathering of Mississippi home builders.  There are a limited number of rooms, and the hotel is expected to sell out during the week of convention, so do not delay in making your reservations. 

 

The Convention is shaping up to be a great one. State Economist Darrin Webb will be giving an economic forecast and Trey Copeland is leading a legal session. 

 

Room Deadline May 6th

The discounted room rate on rooms held for HBAM members attending the convention will not be guaranteed after the May 6th deadline.  Availability for rooms and the cost of rooms will also be at the discretion of the Hilton after the May 6th deadline.

 

HBAM's standard room rate is $299, and there are a limited number of rooms.  To book your room, please contact the hotel directly at 1-800-367-1271, or visitwww.sandestinbeachhilton.com and use group code HBM.   

 

We do not have access to additional rooms or the convention room rates outside of the block.

Dave Sherman Selected for Hall of Fame

Dave Sherman, of Greenville, has been voted into the Mississippi Housing Hall of Fame, and will be inducted at the Home Builders Association of Mississippi (HBAM) 2013 state convention in June. 

 

Sherman, as part of a three man team, helped form HBAM in 1961 when he was building homes in the Mississippi delta.   At that time, Sherman immediately saw the value of networking and the power of an association. In fact, he had already started a local association, the Greenville Home Builders Association prior to becoming a founder of HBAM.
 

Become a Certified Professional Builder

The purpose of the Certified Professional Builder Program is to establish criteria for home builders to assist in consumer awareness and professionalism through education, professional development and customer satisfaction.

Becoming a Mississippi Certified Professional Builder provides an opportunity for builders to pursue professional development through education and customer satisfaction.  By agreeing to become a Certified Professional Builder, you will agree to meet standards beyond the licensing requirements of the Mississippi State Board of Contractors.  Through the certification, builders will stay current on housing trends and the home buyer receives the benefits offered through the program.
