This past quarter has brought frustrations (high interest rates, etc.) for the home building industry but builders along with their subcontractors are resilient and we will get through this like we have in the past.
In July, we headed west to Williston for our Summer Social and Board meeting. NDAB 2nd Vice President, Bob Horab, hosted us all at his wonderful establishment, McCody Concrete. He gave everyone tours of the space and it’s always interesting to see how our peers have built up their businesses. NAHB First Vice Chairman, Carl Harris, attended as well along with his wife Lori. Having representation from national helps our members understand the importance of their 3-in-1 membership.
A big staff change took place this summer as Kayla Pulvermacher put in her resignation with NDAB as the CEO. She put in many hours at the State Capitol this past legislative session and worked tirelessly to make sure NDAB was fighting for all housing related bills on your behalf. We wish her luck in her new career. We offered the vacated CEO position to Brittney Roehrich who was the former NDAB Director of Operations and Member Services. She graciously accepted and has been busy with this transition period along with attending NAHB events.
Be on the lookout in your inbox to register for our upcoming events soon. The NDAB Annual Banquet will take place in Fargo on November 16. We will announce our 2023 Award Winners and induct the 2024 Board of Directors along with our 2024 President, Tom Spaeth. We will also be hosting a BUILD-PAC fundraiser at Elevate in Fargo on November 15th. The Fall NDAB Board Meeting will be held on November 17.
I look forward to leading this association in the final quarter of this year.
Jeff Sattler
2023 NDAB President
