IBA President Compton announces 2008 as the year of retention:

Last year, the Indiana Builders Association had its greatest year ever in membership growth. We grew by over 1,100 members to a new record of over 7,000 members statewide.

This year is the year of retention. Reach out to that new member and take him/her to a local meeting, involve them in the local governmental affairs committee, tap their business and management expertise to mentor younger associate and builder members in a time of need, swing a golf club for your local PAC or favorite charity or simply buy them one of their favorite beverages and just say "thanks" for being part of the association.

When times are tough, we all want to be amongst friends and make a difference. Reach out and make sure each new and current member in our local associations knows how much we appreciate their membership and want their ACTIVE involvement in the local and state builders association.
