Spike Club Q & A
Spike Superstar
What are the benefits of becoming a Spike?
The real benefits are intangible—you are recognized for your contributions to the HBA of F-M and regarded as an accomplished and connected member. Additionally, Spikes receive: • A coveted invitation to the biggest party of the year, the Spike Party/Directors Reception at the International Builders’ Show;* • Increased visibility, recognition and networking opportunities at industry events; • Unique and valuable lapel pins for each level of achievement; • Additional VIP treatment throughout the year.

Letters are sent only to eligible Spikes who have at least six credits and one new member recruitment credit between Jan. 1 and Oct. 31. The recruitment credit may be composed of one full credit received when a new Builder or Associate member is recruited or two half credits received when Affiliate or Council members are recruited. (The HBA’s October board meeting for approving new members is Oct. 16, so you must have recruitments turned in for that meeting!)
How do I become a Spike?
Before becoming a Spike, you are a Spike candidate. That means you have earned between one and five Spike credits. Once you earn your sixth Spike credit, you become an official National Association of Home Builders Spike! (Providing you have earned those six credits within two consecutive membership years.) Spike credits are earned by recruiting and retaining NAHB and Council members. To retain your status as a Spike you must earn a minimum of one Spike credit (new or retention) each year until you reach a total of 25 credits, at which point you are elevated to Life Spike status.
