2 President’s Message I’m excited to serve as your 2017 TABA President and I’m looking forward to a great Erin Wright year ahead. I’d like to welcome our new board members, Steve Latson, Brandon Pahler, Jimmy Reed, David Socia, and Criss Sudduth. Also, thanks to all of our board members serving alongside them this year!

It’s almost time for the Home Products Show, one of TABA’s largest annual events. The Home Products Show represents what TABA is all about, featuring exhibitors from all aspects of the homebuilding industry.

If you are an exhibitor, you already know how effective this show is in spotlighting your business to new customers. If you don’t have a booth, I encourage you to visit this year to see what the Home Products Show is all about and support your fellow members.

As always, our Home Products Show committee has been working hard to make sure this is the best year yet. Thanks to our volunteers, sponsors and exhibitors for making this event possible!
