The new year is here! 2023 saw a lot of changes for NDAB, and we are excited to see what 2024 has in store for us. In December I attended the State EO Meetings in Florida where 18 other state association Executive Officers gathered for a two-day meeting to discuss various topics such as Advocacy, PAC, Membership, and we had great discussion with NAHB CEO & President Jim Tobin. We were grateful to have him attend these meetings. We also heard from various member benefits affiliates!
