🌟Earlier this week we were honored to host the Past Leadership Social!🌟

This group of attendees is made up of BIA and HBC Foundation past presidents and longtime builder and associate leaders who worked tirelessly on association and foundation activities, events, and advocacy. Each of them made a lasting impact on both organizations in the industry. We were thrilled to be able to catch up, and we look forward to hosting many more socials quarterly for this amazing group of individuals. We hope those who were unable to attend are able to catch the next one!

It was a great time for everyone to get together and reconnect on ways to give back to the industry that gave them their livelihood!

Here are some highlights!✨

We had a great time giving The CLUB Teen Center at the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Red River Valley a behind-the-scenes tour of homes in various stages of construction with our friends at Dabbert Custom Homes! 🏡

Special thanks to Home Builders Care president Tyler Holland for joining us, and to the The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Red River Valley for their partnership in making activities like this possible. These experiences help spark curiosity and inspire the next generation of builders! 🔨💙

Congrats to the Kellys! Their golf ball landed furthest from the hole during our Great Ball Drop at the BIA Golf Outing, and walked away with $100 for it!

(We just caught up with them yesterday and couldn’t leave this big win uncelebrated!)

There’s still one more Ball Drop to go in August! Raffle tickets are available now. Remember, you don’t have to be present to win!

We had so much fun volunteering throughout the two-week, Herdina Construction Trades Camp. Each day the campers learned something new and work hands-on with an industry professional.

We can't wait to be apart of next years fun!

Safety Month isn’t just for construction crews — we all share the responsibility of making sure everyone makes it home to their loved ones each night.

Let’s keep safety a priority, 365 days a year. 🛠️

June is 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, a time to raise awareness about key safety risks in construction, from the jobsite to the drive home, and even mental wellbeing.

With support from National Association of Home Builders and , this month focused on continuous improvement, employee engagement, roadway safety, and building a culture of care.
