VBRA / NAHB Monthly Newsletter

May 2024

Hello Friends!

May Day, May Day (or, more correctly in French, M’aisdez, M’aisdez) as in Help!  Your Association is run on volunteer labor, and we are constantly in need of help to keep our events, marketing, trainings and legislative work moving forward.  If you can carve out a few hours a month, we’d love the assistance.  Merci beaucoup!

12 tradespeople are more knowledgeable and will be safer on our job sites thanks to the OSHA 10 class provided by our own Safety Lady Katie Frederick, ASC, LLC on April 25^th and 26^th.   Please consider sending your team to the next training.

Remodelers - Celebrate National Remodeling Month In May!  I encourage you to take advantage of all NAHB offers to remodeling companies including free monthly shop talks to improve your business and personal skills.  Sign up today - https://www.nahb.org/advocacy/public-toolkits/national-home-remodeling-month-toolkit/shop-talk-details

May is going to be an exciting month at the VBRA!  Not only is it National Remodeling Month, we also have a get-together to look forward to.  Be sure to join us at the fabulous mixer put on by new member, Vermont Construction Company, at Echo on May 23^rd from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Please bring someone who might be interested in joining the Association. Members receive a free drink and snacks and newbies will be given the opportunity to sign up on the spot.

Preparations are beginning for our Annual Golf Classic.  If your company would like to provide a prize or help the golf committee put on another fun day away from the daily grind, please contact Griffin Allen - griffin@peregrinedesignbuild.com

As always, I welcome your comments and ideas, your help and support to help us grow this Association and to be The Association for every building professional in Vermont.

Warm regards,
