LEADERSHIP LESSONS Inspired by Taylor Swift

AUG 12 WEDNESDAY

8AM-2PM

ELM FORK SHOOTING SPORTS 10751 Luna Rd. Dallas, TX 75220

June’s After Hours event was a welcome chance for members to step away from the job site and reconnect with colleagues and friends, Hosted by Pro-TechT Security Audio Video, the evening delivered great conversation, a beautiful setting, and a round of door prize drawings that sent several guests home very happy. Someone went home with a YETI Loadout, another with Sonos headphones, and a few lucky winners pocketed wine and cold, hard cash. Not a bad way to spend a Thursday. A huge thank you to Pro-TechT for opening their doors and making the evening memorable — and to yearlong membership partner StrucSure Home Warranty for their continued support in making events like this possible. Think you can top those winners? Join us for the next After Hours on July 16 at MSI Surfaces. The Builder Jackpot is still climbing, now up to $1,900. Register now and try your luck!

You don’t have to be a Swiftie to lead like one.

Taylor Swift’s rise to global icon status is more than a music success story, it’s a lesson in modern leadership. From building authentic connections with her audience to reinventing herself and taking strategic risks, she demonstrates the qualities of a bold and adaptable leader. In this session, we’ll explore how those same approaches can inspire leaders to grow their teams and organizations. Join us for a fun and engaging program with NAHB’s Donna Franza, where we’ll make Swiftie- style friendship bracelets, enjoy some Taylor- inspired music, and dive into the leadership lessons behind the Queen of Pop’s success.
