   EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
GSABA WINS TWO GRAND AWARDS FOR MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) announced that it has named the Greater San Antonio Builders Association a Grand Award winner in two of the three 2023 Annual Membership Awards categories.
We are thrilled to receive these prestigious awards. These awards were earned by our leadership team and GSABA members who committed to recruiting and retaining members in 2023. Membership Chairman and First Vice President Jeff Kuwamura, Co-Chair Dominick Alongi, and Associate VP Raul Jiminez have been part of the driving force of our recruitment and retention efforts along with our leadership team working hand in hand with the outstanding membership committee and our Director of Membership, Darlene Willis. Our members have rallied all year, and we are working to win all three membership grand awards in 2024!
It is an honor to receive these awards and NAHB does a great job recognizing local associations across the United States for their outstanding achievements in member recruitment and retention. GSABA had the highest year-end numerical increase in membership and the highest year-end percentage increase in membership growth for associations with 700 to 999 member companies.
I want to personally thank our Executive Committee led by President Tim Pruski, the GSABA Board of Directors, Membership Chairs, and our membership committee for the amazing work that they are doing and for making a difference. Contact Darlene at DWillis@sabuilders. com to join this award-winning team!
Special thanks to Randy and Becky Oliver with Hollywood Crawford Garage Doors and Openers for being GSABA’s Membership Drive Sponsor. We have been blessed to have Hollywood Crawford Garage Doors & Openers sponsor a cruise the last two years for members who recruited eight or more members throughout the year! Hollywood Crawford has graciously stepped up to sponsor the cruise again this year too!
There are many ways you can serve the Association and network with other members. Torrance Abrams is our new Education Director, and he is working with our UTSA, St. Philip’s, and Warren High School Student Chapters and we need speakers and mentors. Reach out to Torance at tabrams@sabuilders.com and introduce yourself!
We have great committees and councils that you can join, and our Board meetings are open to all members (and prospective members!). Our next Board of Directors meeting will be held on Tuesday, August
