LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT 

What’s In It For Me? 

“Get involved, voice your 

opinion, make a difference” 

That’s the question we are asked at the New 

River Valley Home Builders Association on 

a daily basis. My idea of the answer is probably 

quite a bit different from yours. I view that 

question as an opportunity to make the future 

of our trades better. 

History has taught us 

that a chorus greatly 

outweighs a single 

voice. Each of you are 

needed to make the voice of New River Valley 

Home Builders Association stronger -- locally, 

statewide and on a national level, to help adopt 

regulations and standards of our industry. We 

need everyone. 

I have been involved with Home Builders Association 

for the past six years. I have seen 

the economy at its best, as well as at its worst 

with the current downturn we are experiencing. 

Although the future may seem bleak at this 

point, the value of being a member of the Home 

Builders Association is something everyone, 

no matter whether you are a subcontractor, 

appraiser, loan officer, or insurance underwriter, 

can benefit from. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our 

outgoing president, Chris Pfohl for his commitment 

to the ideals, standards and leadership 

over the past two years. With Chris at the helm, 

we have built a stronger organization. 

Looking forward to the future, we can walk 

the course of optimism and excitement as we 

continue to build the quintessential “American 

Dream. ” The “American Dream” has not 

changed that much from times past. Individuals 

and families want quality-built houses to call 

home. Building houses is not the only means 

for us in this Association, we are building communities. 

Southwest Virginia is one of the most 

beautiful parts of this great nation. Each house 

or business we build allows a visitor to become a 

neighbor and a stranger to become a friend. 

In the year ahead, I hope to see our entire Association 

become more involved. We all need 

to become aware of what the housing industry 

in our area is doing; without each other a home 

will become no more. Just imagine waking up 

one morning and finding out that you had no 

home. With the economy in the state is in, you 

might find just that. We, in the Association, 

need to work with one another to make sure this 

doesn’t happen in our community. 

Get involved, voice your opinion, make a 

difference; otherwise, the “American Dream” may 

end! 

Education, Knowledge, and Leadership 

is WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME!

NRVHBA Moves to a 

New Office in Blacksburg 

June 3, 2010 

The NRVHBA is proud to announce its new office 

at 103 Professional Park Drive, Blacksburg, inside 

the Chamber of Commerce building. Moving to 

a central location with a more professional office 

space are highlights of the move. In addition, 

being so close to the Chamber of Commerce will 

also allow for synergy with another organization 

which has compatible goals. 

NEW: Wythe County 

NRVHBA territory will now include Wythe Coun- 

ty, along with the counties of Carroll, Montgom- 

ery, Giles, and Pulaski; cities/towns of Blacks- 

burg, Christiansburg, Dublin, Galax, Radford. The 

Board of Directors of the National Association of 

Home Builders recently approved its request for 

an increase of jurisdiction, due to Wythe Coun- 

ty’s immediate proximity to NRVHBA’s existing 

territory and the local association’s desire to 

expand service to more potential members.

Real Questions 

Consumers can smarter choices with the help of almost 

100 vendors and FREE how-to clinics about home 

improvement, real estate and new construction. 

NRVHBA and the Virginia Building Code Officials held a joint booth in 2010. 

How Do I Save More Money 

on My Utility Bills? 

HOME EXPO 2010 

The annual Home Expo is the largest non-dues revenue proj- 

ect for the association, and the 2010 Home Expo was a huge 

success with an over 40% increase in attendance, keeping its 

status as a premier event in the New River Valley. Over 2,600 

people visited the almost 100 vendors during the course of 

the three-day show. The show’s organization and hospitality 

were especially complimented. The mission of the Home 

Expo Committee for 2011 is to continue to improve the efficiency 

of how the Expo is run, and to provide an enhanced 

venue for our members and vendors to increase their visibility 

and customer inquiries. This will be accomplished with a 

seasoned committee, quality how-to clinics, a well-stocked 

vendor lounge, activities for children, and prizes and silent 

auction items which will draw crowds. In addition, heavy advertising 

will be utilized to create a full show for the benefit 

of our vendors. 

How Do I Remodel My Home? How Can I Make My Home 

More Accessible as I Get Older? 

The ‘aging in place’ booth by Blue Ridge Home Improvement, Inc., 

was new in 2010 and was one of the most popular exhibits. 

How Do I Make My Home 

More Green? 

Showcase Your Business at the 

new River Valley’s Premier 3-day 

Home Show. 

The event is the second weekend in March at 

the Christiansburg Recreation Center. In addition 

to exposure to the NRV market and beyond, 

exhibitors benefit from: 

• How-To Clinics: One of the most popular 

portions of the show, where vendors share 

their specialized knowledge with the audience. 

• Coupon promotion 

• Silent auction 

• Prize drawings 

• Stocked vendor lounge 

• Kid’s activities 

• Advertising with radio, TV, internet, direct mail,

Association President, Chris Pfohl (right) accept the 2010 

International Code Council Raising the Profile Award for the 

“Better Building. Safer Homes.” Campaign from Council Board 

President Ron Lynn. 

The International Code Council, a membership association 

dedicated to building safety, fire prevention and energy 

efficiency, develops the codes used to construct residential 

and commercial buildings, including homes and schools. Most 

U.S. cities, counties and states choose the International Codes, 

building safety codes developed by the International Code 

Council. The International Codes also serve as the basis for 

construction of federal properties around the world, and as a 

reference for many nations outside the United States. 

public campaign highlighting the impor- 

A tance of building codes and building safety 

is the 2010 recipient of an International Code 

Council award. The Raising the Profile Award 

recognizes contributions that raise public awareness 

of accomplishments of code enforcement 

officials that improve public safety. 

The “Better Building. Safer Homes.” campaign 

was developed by the Virginia Building and 

Code Officials Association Region II (VBCOA) and 

the New River Valley Home Builders Association 

(NRVHBA). This is the first time a partnership 

between two organizations has received the 

award. 

“This is a great example of how the public can 

benefit from a government and private sector 

partnership that brought together code enforce- 

ment officials and home builders to the benefit 

of the public and public safety in the New River 

Valley,” said Code Council CEO Rick Weiland. 

The initiative promotes better construction 

practices and safer homes, and built a partner- 

ship with citizens, building professionals and 

local government to ensure that homes are built 

as safe as possible. 

“The mission of the “Better Building. Safer 

Homes.” Campaign is to promote better con- 

struction practices and safer homes for all those 

who live in the New River Valley,” said VBCOA 

Region II Chair Cathy Cook. “Our goal is to work 

together with citizens, contractors, and local 

government to ensure that our buildings and 

communities are as safe as possible. In a nut- 

shell, we’re promoting better building and safer 

homes.” 

“By partnering together, our two organizations 

can fill in the gaps for anyone who is build- 

ing, remodeling or in the beginning stages of 

planning,” Chris Pfohl, NRVHBA President said. 

“Together, we’re building homes that are safe, 

healthy and will grow in value.” 

NRVHBA Wins the 

Virginia Building Code 

Officials Association 

Citizen’s Award 

The New River Valley Home Builders Association 

recently won the Virginia Building Code 

Officials Association Citizen’s Award. This award 

is given to a person, group, or organization for 

their support and efforts in the education of 

citizens of the importance of building codes 

throughout Virginia, and for going above and 

beyond to enhance citizen safety and awareness 

of the importance of building codes. The award 

was accepted in Virginia Beach on October 4, 

2010, by First Vice President Shelia Stump.

Officials Association To 

Help Consumers 

It’s a simple idea, really. You want your home to be 

safe, and you expect trained professionals to help 

you guide you through the process. Sometimes 

though, it’s hard to figure out who the good guys 

are. 

The New River Valley Home Builders Association 

(NRVHBA) and the Virginia Building and Code Of- 

ficials Association, Region II chapter (VBCOA) are 

working together to make it a little easier. Together, 

we’re promoting better construction practices and 

safer homes for all those who live in the New River 

Valley. 

In the “Better Building. Safer Homes.” campaign, 

we’re building a partnership with citizens, building 

professionals and local government to ensure that 

our homes are as safe as possible. That means we’re 

giving you free resources on issues involved in new 

construction, remodeling and home improvement, 

and how to locate professionals that can guide and 

protect you during the process.

EDUCATION 

PARTNERSHIPS 

NRVHBA Is Strengthening 

Its Relationships with Area 

Educational Entities 

Virginia Tech 

In a continuing alliance with the Building Construc- 

tion department at Virginia Tech, the association 

provided financial support for two of their students to 

attend the International Business Show in Las Vegas. 

In exchange, the students gathered information from 

the seminars and booths at the show and provided 

a report back to the membership. In April 2010, 

NRVHBA toured Virgina Tech’s “Lumenhaus” Solar 

Decathlon entry before it left campus for the competition 

in Spain. Lumenhaus is smartphone ready and 

responds to mobile device applications that allow 

remote control of appliances and other electronic 

devices inside the home. 

Increased Scholarship 

Funding / Montgomery 

County Public Schools 

Career & Technology 

Education Advisory Board 

In secondary education, the association added 

another $1000 scholarship to the existing one; these 

scholarships support local high school seniors who 

will pursue building trades post-graduation. Working 

with the schools to find scholarship applicants has 

led to a closer partnership overall with a local public 

school system, one in which our members are invited 

to contribute their ideas as to what skills are needed 

in the workplace. The school system has a ready pool 

of companies with which to place its job seekers, via a 

seat on the MCPS CTE Advisory Board. 


CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES

http://www.standwithhaiti.org/haiti. 

NRVHBA Scholarships 

In June the NRVHBA presented its Richard S. 

Whitney Memorial Scholarship checks to this 

year’s winners. President Chris Pfohl met personally 

with Zachary Price of Blacksburg High 

School and Timothy Chad Robertson of Giles 

High School to distribute the scholarships of 

$1,000 each, which the association awards annually 

to graduating seniors from New River Valley 

high schools who are interested in entering the 

building profession. The mission of the NRVHBA 

Scholarship Committee is to promote the future 

growth of the construction industry by providing 

aid to deserving students enrolled in construction-related 

studies at Virginia’s colleges, 

trade schools, and within working internships.

The Inaugural Gala 2011 is being held on Saturday, January 29, 

at 6 p.m. at the Inn at Virginia Tech. A beautiful evening of dinner, 

cocktails, and dancing is being coordinated by the Fellowship 

Committee. The theme is ‘Bringing in the New.’ The Gala is the 

time for Association awards to be announced and new officers to 

be inaugurated. 

MARKETING 

Marketing Committee 

Marketing has taken on an increased role in our 

association as board members realize the value 

of that investment. The strategy has been to 

start small and demonstrate success as measured 

by increased attendance and memberships. 

Many marketing methods were free, such 

as an emphasis on referrals and word of mouth. 

Publicity also played a role; these no-cost efforts 

included numerous press releases and free 

events such as trade shows, public speaking opportunities, 

and a ribbon cutting by the Chamber 

at our new office. The idea of relationship 

marketing brought about increased member 

contacts. Communications moved from hard 

copies of The Nailer newsletter and email to 

utilizing Constant Contact and Evite as primary 

tools. Specifically, using Evite to publicize events 

has been a great success. It makes the RSVP simpler 

for members as all they have to do is click 

yes or no. In addition, by being able to see who 

else is coming to the event, it creates a buzz not 

found with telephone or email RSVPs. Evite also 

allows you to issue reminders, make changes, 

and post after-event photos in a graphically 

appealing way. This ‘annual report’ combined 

editions of the newsletter into one year-round 

slick publicity piece. 

NRVHBA made a leap into newspaper, television, 

and radio advertising through its partnership 

with the Virginia Building Code Officials Association 

(VBCOA) and the award-winning “Better 

Building. Safer Homes.” campaign. Geared toward 

consumers, the commercials emphasized 

the importance of investigating contractors 

before hiring them. Previously, only Home Expo 

advertising was featured in mass media. 

All of these vehicles enhanced the image of the 

association and the building industry within our 

community.

The Golf Outings for 2010 were held at Auburn Hills and Blacksburg 

Country Club. Proceeds benefited the NRVHBA’s scholarship fund for 

high school senior vocational students and its political action committee 

BUILD-PAC, the respected voice of the building industry. In 2011, the Golf 

Committee will consider expanding the tournaments to different golf 

courses and enhancing the prizes. Thanks to the teams, supporters and 

hole sponsors.

1st Annual 

Hawaiian Luau 

Friday, June 18, 2010 

Another particularly successful meeting was 

a Friday night picnic in June with a luau 

theme. Held at Nesselrod on the New, a scenic 

bed and breakfast location, it was our can’tmiss, 

splashy event of the summer. In addition 

to good music, food, and drink, activities were 

key to the success of this event. Sponsors were 

asked to provide games, and these proved quite 

popular as attendees enjoyed everything from 

nail-driving to football-throwing. The win-win 

for the sponsors was that the games showcased 

their products and gave them a forum to interact 

naturally with potential customers.

2010 Holiday Party 

Thursday, December 2 

The 2010 Holiday Party was held at the Hilton Garden Inn on 

Thursday, December 2. Voting on Association awards and 

officers occurred, as well as the final drawing in our progressive 

raffle. Joyce Bennett took home over $600 as the winner! With 

record attendance, the NRVHBA was able to provide generous 

monetary donations to the MCEAP food bank and to Toys for 

Tots, as well as giving several boxfuls of toys to the program 

for our guests Bob Miller and Buck Wrenn to carry back to the 

Toys for Tots organization. In addition, the hit of the evening 

was our own tots being treated to gifts and a visit from ‘Santa’ 

a.k.a. John Neel. The light snow falling outside provided special 

holiday ambience. 

NEW WAYS OF 

THINKING 

Changing the Old Ways 

of Doing Things 

At its annual retreat in fall of 2009, the NRVHBA 

listened to the wisdom and experience of Channing 

Pfieffer of the Tidewater HBA and made decisions 

to change the old ways of doing things. 

For example, instead of our tired, poorly-attended 

dinner meetings each month, the association 

is mixing up its events with builder breakfasts 

– the first of which had double the attendance 

of most dinner meetings – as well as educational 

events, some in association with Virginia Tech, 

and larger but less frequent socials. 

Social Media 

NRVHBA moved into the hi-tech age by engaging 

its members on Facebook, Twitter, and You 

Tube. These vehicles allow for cross-promotion 

of events, real-time publicity, and communication 

with a new demographic for the association. 

Communication 

NRVHBA worked to increase communication 

with its members with a fully updated website, 

weekly emails entitled ‘This Week in Your HBA,’ 

and use of a phone tree to inform and remind 

members of important events. In addition we 

have enhanced our presence in the community 

via service projects, involvement in governmental 

affairs, an all-new professionally-designed 

booth at the Home Expo, and increased communication 

with the local media which has resulted 

in more positive press. 


FOR CONSUMERS 

NRV Magazine story 

“Why Build Now?” 

This is an unprecedented buyer’s market, but the housing 

market is rapidly evolving so quick action is warranted. 

There are many limited-time incentives driving a renewed 

interest in home buying and building: 

• Financing - Interest rates are at record lows. 

• Federal government buyer stimulus provisions - Not only 

is the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit being extended 

into the first part of this year, but eligibility for the credit 

has been significantly expanded. These changes should 

substantially increase the tax credit’s ability to stimulate 

buyer demand across a much broader swath of the housing 

industry. There are home buyer tax credits of up to $8,000 

for first-time home buyers and $6,500 for some repeat buyers 

for homes under contract before May 1, 2010 and purchased 

before July 1, 2010. Congressional leaders have made it very 

clear that this is “it” for the home buyer tax credit. There will 

be no further extensions after the middle of this year. 

• Cost - Home prices are competitive, which allows you to get 

more home for your dollar. 

There are other factors that indicate and encourage building 

a home now: 

• emphasis on energy-efficiency - We as a nation have 

come together to embrace being green. It’s altruistic. It’s 

popular. And in today’s economic climate, it’s financially 

imperative as well. This hot topic has generated many 

materials, experts, and products that are now readily 

available. Guidelines of what to look for in a green builder 

are incorporated into designations such as the NAHB Green 

Building Program and LEED. 30% tax credits exist for energy 

efficient building with products for renewable energy such as 

geothermal heat pumps, solar panels, solar hot water heaters, 

small wind energy systems, and fuel cells. 

• Builder availability - Some of the best builders and 

remodelers used to have a waiting time of up to a year, 

as when my family moved back to this area in 2007 and 

wanted to remodel our family homeplace. But now the 

same contractors are booking only a couple of months 

ahead. Smaller builders are often immediately available. In 

fact, some of them have registered for the Home Expo this 

year simply because they “don’t have anything else to do” 

(Matt Fillman, owner, Fillman Builders). As the Executive 

Officer of the NRVHBA I am pleased to see this sort of smart 

business plan among our members as: 1) it utilizes personnel 

during an otherwise lean time for hourly paychecks, and 2) 

marketing during a bad economy, while counterintuitive, 

creates an advantage for that business because many 

competitors have cut back on their marketing. 

• Asset value - Owning a home builds equity and helps grow 

your personal wealth over time. Low prices now mean you 

will likely realize a substantial return on your investment 

since housing historically appreciates over the long term. 

In a macro sense, President Obama’s State of the Union 

address last week explicitly and implicitly emphasized the 

importance of housing to the economy to put Americans to 

work and move the economy forward. While no one person 

or family can take on the burden of bolstering the national 

economy, it all works together to get the economy back on 

track. It is important to get residential construction moving 

again as an engine of economic growth and as an engine of 

job growth. 

That said, I feel obligated to note that the industry faces 

many challenges, some of which affect the consumer directly. 

Health care, housing finance and appraisal issues threaten 

to harm small businesses, slow home sales, and hamper a 

housing recovery. 

· Credit for housing production is extremely difficult to 

come by. The National Association of Home Builders is 

urging regulators to issue more flexible guidelines that 

will encourage banks to maintain funding for residential 

acquisition, development and construction loans in good 

standing that fall below their underlying value. Going 

forward, NAHB will continue to reach out to every possible 

stakeholder who has the ability to help restore the flow of 

credit to our industry. 

· Meanwhile, inaccurate appraisals are a major concern 

for our industry. Foreclosed and distressed home sales are 

continuing to kill new home values and sales in many markets. 

Too often, due to faulty appraisal practices, a brand new home 

with sparkling appliances gets compared to a distressed 

property that has been sitting vacant and in disrepair. The 

result, in many cases, has been that the builder’s house winds 

up getting appraised at less than the cost of construction. 

NAHB will build on these efforts to further sharpen the focus 

on ensuring that appraisals accurately reflect true market 

values. 

• nAHB has also been working against an onerous health 

care provision. NRVHBA President Chris Pfohl, owner 

of Rome Mechanical, sent a broadcast email asking our 

members to contact their Congressmen and urge them to 

strip an amendment from the Senate-passed health care bill 

written by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.). The Merkley language 

“unfairly targeted small construction firms by requiring them 

to provide health insurance or face stiff fines if they employ 

more than five workers. Meanwhile, small businesses in all 

other industries were exempt from providing mandatory 

health coverage if they employ 50 workers or less,” said Pfohl. 

This year, NAHB will continue to push hard for policies that 

have the potential to benefit builders and developers, the 

communities they serve, and the overall economy. Ultimately 

the decision is in the hands of consumers as they answer 

the question, is building a home right for me? Our Home 

Builders Association will do all in its power to make sure 

that the nascent housing and economic recovery takes root 

right here in the New River Valley so that the answer is a 

resounding YES!

LEAD PAINT 

SAFETY 

Update Your Home 

Safely with a Certified 

Remodeler 

You’ve made the decision to finally remodel the 

outdated kitchen and living room of your home. 

But if you live in a house built before 1978, a 

new federal law regulating the removal of lead 

paint may affect your home remodeling project. 

In 1978, the use of lead paint was officially 

banned from residential construction. Before 

that, however, lead paint was used in more than 

38 million homes, according to the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA). 

Beginning in April 2010, contractors performing 

renovation, repair and painting projects that 

disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care 

facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be 

certified and must follow specific work practices 

to prevent lead contamination. 

How Do I Find a Certified Remodeler? 

To become lead-safe certified, a firm, and a 

contractor within that firm, must submit an 

application to the EPA and complete a federal 

or state-administered eight-hour class with two 

hours of hands-on training. To find a lead-safe 

certified contractor or firm near you, visit www. 

epa.gov/lead.

COMMITTEE REPORTS 

Audit Committee 

The Treasurer and other members oversee the 

financial matters of the association. The goals 

of the committee were to review the financial 

operation of the association, to safeguard the association 

assets, and to ensure the most efficient 

management of the association’s assets. For 

2011, they recommended specific strategies to 

streamline the accounting process among the 

CPA, the Treasurer, and the association office. 

Membership Committee 

The Membership Committee identifies and 

recruits new members of the association, 

promotes involvement in all association programs, 

and encourages renewal of membership. 

Money-saving programs are one of the primary 

enticements: our association began a local 

member initiative, Member 2 Member, where 

our members offer one another special deals; 

the State and National associations each have 

significant savings programs as well, including 

saving $1000 on a car! 

Our association has also produced a number of 

local membership materials such as the recruiting 

brochure “Why Haven’t You Joined?” New or 

prospective members receive information packets 

to recognize their interest in the association. 

Spike Club credits in 2010 go to Jamie Oliver, 

Shelia Stump, Tim Lawrence, and Justin Boyle for 

their efforts in membership recruitment. Their 

successful tactics include handing out information 

at contractor hang-outs and only doing 

business with other NRVHBA members. 

PAC 

The PAC (political action committee) took another 

step toward local political relevance over the 

past year by participating in state and municipal 

elections. Candidate questionnaires were sent 

out and many were returned; they were evaluated 

and presented to the membership for 

their consideration. In addition, two candidate 

forums were conducted and many candidates 

participated. A Christiansburg blog and Roanoke 

Times’ editorial actually suggested that our 

association and PAC had taken over the local 

elections. In the future, the PAC will continue to 

understand and affect political situations that 

are of critical importance to the southwestern 

Virginia building industry’s ability to do business 

in today’s marketplace. 

Government Affairs 

Committee 

The 2010 committee made additional strides in 

becoming a part of the conversation during the 

May elections. Along with the PAC, it submitted 

questionnaires to the candidates, invited them 

to the spring golf outing and the spring builder 

breakfast, and supported a slate of candidates 

– two of which were elected. 

The mission for 2011 is that, while the committee 

should continue to push its presence during 

the various election processes of our surrounding 

localities, it also needs to be more visible 

during the year at Town Council, City Council 

and Board of Supervisor meetings. Local leaders 

need to know that NRVHBA is concerned with 

the industry issues throughout the year and not 

just at election time. 

Meetings 

We have had success moving meetings from dinner to breakfast. 

Contractors are early risers and we catch them before their days start 

without interrupting their family time in the evenings. We also have 

meetings less frequently which makes them seem more valuable. 

Our attendance has doubled from monthly dinner meetings. The 

association continued to employ some night meetings with the new 

summer picnic and the popular holiday party. 

By employing a variety of meeting times – from breakfast to dinner 

to evenings out – we have been able to include more of our membership 

in our activities. 

Building Codes / Education 

Members were kept updated on code changes through emails and a 

Builder Breakfast with an EarthCraft speaker. Housing start data has 

been a common request to the NRVHBA office, and will begin to be 

collected by this committee for the localities in our jurisdiction. The 

NRVHBA worked closely with VBCOA (Virginia Building Code Officials 

Association) Region II as well as the Montgomery Economic Development 

Council to understand one another’s viewpoints and find 

common ground. NRVHBA members partnered with the Building 

Construction Department at Virginia Tech to tour the award-winning 

Lumenhaus to learn about alternative design. NRVHBA also took 

a seat at the table of the Career and Technical Education Advisory 

Board for Montgomery County Public Schools. The EPA’s RRP (Renovation, 

Repair, and Painting) rule took center stage in 2010, with stringent 

requirements and stiff fines for non-compliance. Since the issue 

was of such importance, NRVHBA made special efforts to educate its 

membership on the requirements as well as connect members with 

certified trainers who could keep them in compliance, including our 

own member Community Housing Partners. 

GREEN 

INITIATIVES 

EarthCraft, CREATES, 

and Lead Paint Safety 

NRVHBA is involved with several environmentally 

friendly programs, reflecting its commitment 

to proactivity and being at the forefront on this 

issue. Nine of our members are EarthCraft certified, 

meaning their homes meet high standards 

of environmental friendliness. Locally, the CRE- 

ATES (Construction, Retrofitting, and Energy-Efficiency 

Assessment Training and Employment 

Systems) regional partnership was formulated 

out of a $3.8 million U.S. Department of Labor 

grant to teach new and incumbent workers the 

skills required in emerging energy efficiency and 

renewable energy industries; NRVHBA shares 

information and personnel with CREATES to 

benefit our members.
