Attention Builders- DUE TOMORROW, APRIL 7!
In 2014, GBAHB had the highest membership increase of all HBA's in the state of Alabama. This year we are hoping to do the same!
"Do business with a member" is one of our mantras. Some of you may not realize that your sub-contractors & suppliers are not members. We would like you to fill out the attached spreadsheet with names of all your subs. We will check your list and let you know if any are not members so that you may contact them directly and explain to them the benefits of membership.
By filling out and returning this spreadsheet by Tuesday, April 7, you will be entered into a drawing for one of several $100 Visa gift cards! Please email your completed list to sarahd@gbahb.com or fax to (205) 451-0201.
Thank you for helping our association grow!
