BIA says goodbye to Spencer Carlson
|
After nearly four years at the Building Industry Association, business development coordinator Spencer Carlson said goodbye Jan. 30. He led the BIA’s efforts in membership recruitment and retention and assisted with sponsorship and advertising sales.
Spencer is joining the staff at LP Building Solutions and plans to remain active in the BIA on a volunteer basis. He will also be assisting the Association during the Red River Valley Home & Garden Show later this month.
We are grateful for lasting impact Spencer made on the BIA and wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Spencer's expertise, experience and fun-loving personality will be missed!
