March was a magnificent month! Our very own Tammy Murray of Anderson Windows was featured on basically every available screen throughout the International Builders Show (IBS) 2024 in Las Vagas. She had an impressive presence as she shared her work with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) students. Amazing work, Tammy! The Atlantic Builders Convention (ABC), hosted by the New Jersey Builders Association (NJBA), was a huge success! Harrah’s in Atlantic City, NJ did a wonderful job accommodating the show. The booths, classes, professional gatherings and private events filled the calendar and the audience was excellent. I’m proud to report that our local had a large presence at the show. Nice work Metro! The 2024 Annual Sales and Marketing Awards (SAM AWARDS) was also held at Harrah’s and was the kick off to the ABC convention. This awards program honors Builder/Remodeler & Associate members of the NJBA who have made major contributions to the home building industry. Congratulations to our Metro 2024 SAM Award winners! Our Professional Women in Building Council (PWB) along with Shore Builder’s PWB held “Leadership Confidence and the Opportunities for Women in Building” in Atlantic City during the ABC convention. It was a champagne brunch featuring a panel of industry leaders who shared their secrets for mastering the confidence to effectively lead and create opportunities in construction. It was a huge hit and is anticipated to be part of the 2025 ABC program. Our Awards of Excellence (AOE) is quickly approaching. We officially exceeded last year’s entries. What an accomplishment! Last year, our event was memorable. We anticipate this year to be even better. Make sure you purchase your tickets. They will be available until April 30, 2024. Our Education Committee is in full swing and we are currently offering 3 NAHB classes. The classes are virtual and vary in topic and time frame. Check out our online calendar to get the details and register. Look forward to seeing you in class! Thank you Robert Nussbaum of Saiber for the informative article concerning Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules. Take a minute to check it out and read it. We had the pleasure of interviewing Tony Ettore of Affordable Building Services LLC. Enjoy the write up and look for him at our next event. Introduce yourself and share your contact information. He is always connecting, sharing knowledge, and working with other members. President’s Message April 2024
