NPBA bids farewell to Clair
On June 24, members of the NPBA and our community gathered at the NPBA offices for a barbecue in honor of Clair Kirkman, member services director, to wish her well in her new endeavor as a procurement tech with the U.S. Forest Service. NPBA Life Director Bill Roberds gave an eloquent speech thanking Clair for her years of service and dedication to the NPBA and its members. He said, “The NPBA owes you a great deal, if not for your hard work and booming enthusiasm, we would not have flourished over the years as we have. Your devotion to us all has always been above and beyond the call of duty. You were exactly what the national association had in mind when they thought about helping homebuilders in places like Port Angeles.“ The NPBA is truly grateful that Clair spent the past 18 years working on behalf of the industry and its members. The association had just 63 members when Clair began as a part-time employee in 1993. Throughout the years she worked tirelessly to build an association that at its peak totaled 377 members. Clair’s dedication and loyalty to the NPBA and its members continues as she hopes to be able help facilitate an increased use of local contractors in her new position. Her resolve to help others is evident in all her actions. Clair, you will be missed.
