Associates' Council Meetings 2025

What is the HBAGC Associates Council?
A committee composed of Associate Members, companies that supply goods or services to home builders (lumber, appliances, mortgage services, design, accounting, etc.), promotes associate visibility, plans networking events, invests in our community, and supports builder engagement within HBAGC.

Who can join the Associates Council?
Associate Members who want to gain exposure, expand their connections, and participate in exclusive events.

Why does it exist?
Builders and Associate Members work closely together in the home construction ecosystem. While Builders are responsible for physically constructing the homes, Associates supply the materials, services, and support needed throughout the process. The Associates Council serves as a vital bridge between the two, helping Associates connect with Builders, foster business opportunities, and collaborate on industry initiatives. Its primary role is to raise visibility for suppliers and service providers among Builder members.

How does the Associates Council raise visibility for builders?
The Associates Council raises visibility by planning and hosting a variety of networking and engagement opportunities designed to connect Associate Members with Builder Members. These include community service projects, After Hours networking events, and monthly council meetings. Through these activities, Associates have the chance to build relationships, showcase their products and services, and become more involved in the home-building community.
