32 5.2 Smoke Detector Program The Smoke Detector Program is a joint partnership between Edmonton Fire Rescue Services, Edmonton Fire Fighter’s Union, and the Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Edmonton Region. On the weekend of October 23 rd, 2011, Edmonton Fire Rescue visited 645 homes, installed 236 smoke detectors, and changed out 121 dead batteries. An official program launch was held on Thursday, October 20th, which was well attended by local media. Smoke detectors were provided to residents free of charge, thanks to the generous support of these generous sponsors: • Fire ‘n Ice Mechanical & Controls • Interstate All Battery Center • Millenium Mechanical Services LTD. • York • Milwaukee 5.3 Member Relations 5.4.1 Membership Increasing and maintaining CHBA-ER membership is an ongoing initiative. Since last year’s Annual Report was issued, the Association has welcomed 34 new members. New members realize the value of networking and communication and are excited to take advantage of the many resources the CHBA-ER has to offer. Members share a common passion for the industry’s future and want to be a part of its success.

As an association whose members are companies, we regard membership as the first step in a partnership continuum that actively involves each company in the CHBA-ER. That involvement can take many forms: volunteer support, financial support, leadership, or program sponsorship. At the end of the day, the Association is only as strong as the engagement of its members and, of course, sponsorship is a critical element in this formula.
Sponsorship represents a symbiotic relationship. At one time it was enough for us to simply seek support for the sole purpose of furthering the CHBA-ER’s Goals and Objectives. In the current economy, such a limited perspective is non-sustainable; our supporters reasonably expect that there will be mutual benefit to their partnering with us through sponsorship, and that their sponsorship will be quantifiable in terms of a return on investment. They are looking for imagination and engagement; signage and complimentary tickets are no longer an end in itself, but rather should be a part of a larger, more comprehensive program – one that enables sponsors to interact directly with their target markets. It is the commitment and responsibility of the CHBA-ER to ensure that this happens and we look forward to our members, partners and sponsors holding us accountable to this benchmark as we move forward. It is through sponsorship that most of our events take place. Whether it is a keynote speaker, a sporting event, the Awards of Excellence or our newest initiative, the Residential Construction Industry Conference (RCIC), all activities and functions are made possible through the generous support of our members. It is because of our sponsors that all members have the opportunity to participate in and receive the benefits of an initiative, program or event. With your input we can work together to create, grow and manage sponsorship as a mutually rewarding and advantageous experience for both the sponsor and the CHBA-ER. Thank you for your past support and we look forward to your continued involvement. 5.5 Volunteer Management 5.5.1 Volunteer Management Committee 2011 was another amazing year for the Volunteer Management Committee!
