2011 Home Show

If you had a booth this year and have not already been contacted, please contact us as soon as possible to let us know if you would like the same booth you had for the 2010 Home Show. You have first right of refusal before we offer them to our members who did not have booths. You must keep the same booth you had last year, or if you wish to try for a different spot, you will be notified after everyone has had a chance to claim their spot from the 2010 show. 

In order to reserve your booth, we must have your payment by September 10th. If we do not receive payment by then, we will not be able to reserve your booth. We are requiring a non-refundable payment of at least 1/2 down. 


Members who were not in the 2010 Home Show will have the opportunity to buy a booth not reserved by September 10th. We will open the show to the entire membership on September 15th.

If you have any questions, please email Lane at lane@nwabuilders.com or Brenda at brenda@nwabuilders.com, or call the office at 751.6688. We’re looking forward to this year’s show being the best yet!

Membership Drive

September and October are here, along with our yearly Membership Drive. In order to attract more members, we want to offer them incentives from current members to entice new members to join.
Some examples are:

• One-year small safety deposit box free
• $25 off closing fee
• 5% discount on new construction windows, screen rooms, and patio enclosures
• 15% discount on all new customer services
•  Free one-hour labor on service call
• 5% discount on any purchase, not to exceed $200.00

Giving incentives is an incentive for you also.
Giving incentives:

• Gains a potential customer
• Gives you a tool to use to gain Spike points
• Builds the association
• More members = more networking
• More members = more money for the HBA = more opportunities for everyone

With a larger membership, we can provide:

• More opportunities for education/certification classes
• More opportunities to be involved in HBA events = more advertising for your business
• Wider variety of trades = more networking opportunities in more trades
• More chances to get your name out to other members
• More money to fund events that are opportunities for community service
• A stronger voice at the National Level

Please consider helping us expand our membership, which can help expand your business.

2010 Parade of Homes

The NWA HBA would like to thank everyone involved for their participation and generous support in the 2010 Parade of Homes. This event would not have been the success it was without your patronage. We are proud to announce that we have received only positive feedback from participants and visitors about the beautiful homes showcased in this year’s Parade.

Thanks again for your help in making this year’s event such a great success! We hope to have the opportunity to work with you again next year for the 2011 Parade of Homes!
