DISCOVER THE VALUE
of Membership!
Three memberships in one! As you know NCBIA members are automatically enrolled as members in the Ohio Home Builders Association (OHBA) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Each association offers extensive benefits that enhance your NCBIA benefits. This month I will focus on some of the resources NAHB offers you in the way of benefits and education.
NAHB members save thousands of dollars each year thanks to NAHB’s advocacy efforts and other member benefits. While home building is a challenging industry, NAHB’s resources, expertise, and educational opportunities can help you build a better product, build a better business, and create a more positive business environment.
The five pillars of NAHB membership – ADVOCACY – EXPERTISE – KNOWLEDGE – NETWORKING – SAVINGS form the foundation to build your future.

Advocacy
NAHB Consistently Delivers Value for Its Members
NAHB fights for its members on Capitol Hill, in state houses and in the communities where they do business. We work hard to defeat excessive regulations and to protect our members’ bottom lines. Our advocacy efforts include educating policymakers and the Administration, building successful coalitions, and mobilizing NAHB’s grassroots on a range of issues.
NAHB advocates on behalf of its members on a wide range of issues, including the tax code, federal housing programs, regulatory relief, environmental laws, building codes, OSHA, building materials, housing finance and more. A single win in the policy arena can save builders thousands of dollars on every home they build.
In recent years, the association's advocacy efforts and other member benefit offerings have provided members with tremendous value — equal to approximately $6,160 per housing start in 2020.
This significant savings makes membership in NAHB an essential tool for smart home builders and the diverse businesses that support the home building industry.
I hope you found this information useful. Please let me know if you have any questions. I will continue sharing NAHB, OHBA and NCBIA benefits in future issues of our Builder Newsletter.
