Why your attendance matters.

Your Association hosts member‑only opportunities to meet with candidates so you can hear their responses to issues that matter to the building and housing industries. These events also help our leadership evaluate whether a candidate may be considered for endorsement by the Association.

 

Because each of our members contribute to the region’s building, housing and economic vitality, it is essential that all sectors of the industry are represented at these events. 

 

We hope to see you there!
