HBAL MEMBER MORE THAN JUST A

When you join HBAL, your dues are more than just membership in the organization.

The Home Builders Association of Lincoln (HBAL) offers members valuable opportunities to network and grow through events, meetings and educational classes. Membership in HBAL also gives you a voice in government at both the state and local levels. Behind the scenes, HBAL staff and volunteer leaders work closely with government officials to help reduce regulations and lower housing costs. For example, members regularly meet with elected and city officials to discuss a wide range of topics related to the construction industry. Maintaining strong working relationships ensures that all parties are well-informed, making it easier to navigate potential regulatory changes. We are grateful to our dedicated members who contribute their time and expertise to support these efforts. To learn more about our advocacy work, please contact the HBAL office.

HBAL provides numerous opportunities for members to build their business through networking events, educational seminars and charitable activities.
