The nomination deadline for the National Housing Endowment Building Achievement Award for Outstanding Community Service has been extended to Monday, Dec. 3.

Do you know of a builder who makes a positive impact in their communities through charitable activities? There are many good reasons to honor their generosity by nominating them, including:

• Builders, don’t be shy — celebrate your staff’s hard work, and the attention may even inspire others to support local charities.
  
  
• Associations, take advantage of this chance to serve your builder members and bring deserved recognition to their charitable endeavors.  

The Builder Achievement award recognizes NAHB builder, developer and remodeler members for exceptional community service and charitable work. Eight exceptional honorees are recognized in categories. There will be one Gold, Silver and Bronze winner and five Honorable Mentions. Each winner is given a donation ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 that is made in their name to a charity of their choice.

The winners are celebrated at a ceremony at the 2008 International Builders' Show in Orlando, Fla., in February. The complete award description and entry form is available online at www.nahb.org/builderachievement.
