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.

Jon Mast Chief Executive Officer
