2 President’s Message
Thanks to everyone who supported the Home Products Show this year, Trey Hunt either as a volunteer, sponsor, exhibitor, or attendee. The Home Products Show is a huge production and could never be successful without each of you. As we’re gearing up for spring, there are many important events I hope you’ll make plans to attend. First off is the Texas Association of Builders’ Rally Day on March 20th. We will have a group from TABA drive to Austin and join homebuilders associations across the state to meet with our legislators. I’m very passionate about this event and believe it’s important that we show up to represent our industry. We are hoping to fill a bus and ride together, so we need your participation. This is for all members, not just builders. Please contact TABA staff for more information and to sign up. As always, I hope you’ll join us for After Hours on March 5th, here at TABA. After Hours is a free, comeand-go networking event and is open to all members. Finally, be sure to save the date for our Spring General Membership Meeting on Wednesday, April 10th at Cascades Country Club. And make plans to join us for our annual TABA Golf Tournament on Monday, April 22nd. Hope to see you around at one of these events! Thanks, Trey Hunt TABA President
