President’s
Message
With another
successful Home
Products Show
behind us, it’s
Kerry Hamblett
shaping up to be
a great year! There are so many
members who make the Home
Products Show happen and I hope
each of you know how important
you are at TABA. From our
volunteers to all of our sponsors,
thank you!
If you’re new to TABA and
looking for ways to get involved,
we have several opportunities this
month. After Hours is finally back
in swing on March 4th and we’re
looking forward to a great crowd.
After Hours is free and open
to all members, so stop by and
introduce yourself.
Make plans to attend our
Bowling with Builders on
March 10th at Green Acres
Bowling Alley. Come out and
have a fun night bowling with
fellow members, all while
supporting HOMEPAC, our Texas
Association of Builders’ political
action committee.
And of course, I hope
we’ll see you at our General
Membership Meeting on March
25th in our newly remodeled
space at TABA. Check out this
issue for more information on all
of these great events.

NAHB Education Opportunities
The Tyler Area Builders Association offers the NAHB Certified
Educational Programs each year. To qualify for a CGB (Certified Graduate Builder), you may first take the BAR exam, after
which you will be advised of the classes you must take to qualify
for the CGB OR you can opt to take all 9 classes. To become a
GMB (Graduate Master Builder), you must be a CGB (or have
equivalent experience) and complete 5 GMB classes. The CAPS
(Certified Aging in Place Specialist) classes will both be offered
this year. Would you like to add these designations to your signature? These classes are one of the many resources we offer to our
members. For more information call the TABA Office.
