This free workshop is especially for staff and leaders of local NAHB Remodelers councils. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet with fellow local leaders and the national leaders and staff of the NAHB Remodelers.

Find out from those who know how to increase your membership through special recruitment campaigns, throwing not-to-be-missed meetings and branding your council as the only resource consumers should use to find professional remodelers. And since remodelers like to have fun too, the workshop will be followed by a reception with food and drinks for the attendees.

Registration is limited so be sure to sign up soon.

Cost: Free with advanced registration
Registration: Register via e-mail at remodel@nahb.com before Sept. 2.
