Building Industry Association Members!
Last week FHBA held its Fall Conference in Palm
Beach. In addition to meetings on topics such as
finance and building codes, new leaders were
installed to lead the association forward through
2016 and beyond. One of the most important
presentations was to induct our own John
Wiseman of Core Construction into the Florida
Home Builders Association Hall of Fame.
While John was President of the Florida Home Builders Association, he
was instrumental in raising the bar of integrity and professionalism. He
oversaw changes to FHBA fiscal policies and to the membership of the
board of Florida Home Builders Insurance Company resulting in
expanded insurance markets and greater dividends for FHBA. Under the
guidance of his tenure as FHBA President, the FHBA Building University
of Individual Leadership Development was established. Please join me
and congratulate John on this well-deserved honor!
Impact Fees are once again being proposed by our municipalities and
county school boards, with Sarasota County Schools being the most
imminent. On Tuesday, October 20, they will be voting on either
eliminating the current moratorium or to add a fee for each new home
permitted up to $7,835 each. If your business has any connection to new
home construction you need to be involved and speak up for the industry.
The economy is not back to its old pace of growth warranting an increase
in this impact fee as most schools still have vacancies. Please contact
me to get involved!
Lastly, our Sales & Marketing Council is holding an awards program
called BACK IN THE BLACK - SMC Sales & Marketing Awards on
October 29. Register online today for this great and timely event.
Best Regards,
Jon Mast Chief Executive Officer
