MESSAGE TO MEMBERS
Message to Members of the Tallahassee Builders Association
From Jerry McFarland, President
Dear TBA Member:
Welcome to an exciting new year of involvement in your Tallahassee Builders Association (TBA). Yes, I said “involvement” because the more active you are in TBA, the more you will grow professionally and personally, and the more you will experience the many benefits of being a member.
And I said “your” TBA because our association is truly volunteer-driven by caring builders and associates who have taken ownership and are committed to success. So get connected to TBA in 2012… lend your time and talents freely, attend our meetings and networking events, and together, we’ll make a positive difference in our community.
While TBA is involved in many activities, let me highlight three key initiatives:
- The Parade of Homes, chaired by builder Mark Worley, will be TBA’s signature event in 2012. It’s set for May 12-13 and 19-20, and the kickoff party is January 19 at Summerbrooke. Every TBA member will benefit from involvement in the Parade.
- We are committed to member and consumer education in 2012 and our Education Committee, chaired by builder Larry Strickland, has great seminars planned, including several at the North Florida Home Show on March 3-4.
- TBA is your champion in working with local government officials. Chair Jason Johnston and his Governmental Affairs Committee are working on cracking down on unlicensed activity, expediting permitting, and making it easier, and less costly, for you to run your business and serve your customers.
Finally, while volunteers are important, so is staff. I’m pleased to report that TBA has signed a management contract with the Florida Home Builders Association under which TBA Hall of Fame member Paul Thompson will serve as our EO with the part-time support of our current administrator Danielle Owens. Paul and Danielle are committed to TBA success. You can reach Paul at paul@tallyba.com or 251-1053. I know he’ll be glad to hear from you.
So let’s make it a great year and I look forward to seeing you soon at a TBA event.
Sincerely,
Jerry McFarland
President
