I started my role in a Home Builder Association in the "Outer Circle". You know the feeling, you meet someone, they ask you to join, you pay your dues, and then "Now What?". You just joined the Association Outer Circle. That dues paying member that wonders what did I just give my money to. This blog is aimed at you. Hopefully, I can demystify some of the nuances, explain some of the "lingo" and try to remember what it was like 15 years ago when I walked into my first meeting.
Every week I will try to round up the "HOT" topics from across the Home Building news feeds and try to give a little more explanation to the "back story". I will also post links to many topics that can help you get the most out of your membership. This is not a blog where you have to read a lot of stuff you aren't interested in. Instead. this will be one of those reference guides where you can choose to read more on the topics you want and breeze past the rest.
Of course there will be anecdotes and fun stuff from adventures past and present mixed into the posts once in awhile, just because I can. And, I will feature articles from some of my favorite fellow Association bloggers. Please enjoy and ask questions. I have many members and staff that I can call on to help with your answers.
