Volunteer for a Committee

Committees are an important link between the Board of Directors and BABRM members. Committee members’ input, involvement, and recommendations are crucial to meeting the needs of the general membership.

Serving on any of these committees will provide you with unique and valuable opportunities to network with industry peers, gain valuable exposure for you and your company, develop leadership skills, and serve your industry, the association, and your community.

Social


The Social Committee works closely with the BABRM staff to coordinate and promote fun events for the general membership that create networking and relationship building opportunities. Some of the most popular events include the BABRM Annual Golf Tournament, Sporting Clays Tournament, Holiday Party, and Battle of the Builders. Meets on the first Tuesday of every other month from 3:30 to 4:30 pm.

Government Affairs


The Government Affairs committee liaises with our local, state, and nationally elected government officials. This committee focuses on items related to housing and the livelihood of our membership. Members of this committee meet with local elected officials, discuss ordinances, and promote BuildPAC contributions. Meets on the third Wednesday of every other month from 3:30 to 4:30 pm.

Membership
