PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE<br />
President’s February Message<br />
As Spring is hopefully fast approaching<br />
with warmer temperatures, sun<br />
light and a smile on our faces that we<br />
do not have to shovel anymore snow<br />
we will all begin our busy time of the<br />
year. I’m sure no matter what your<br />
business is the effects of this cold<br />
ROB HAJEK and snowy last couple of months<br />
have had an impact on your business<br />
or at least on your body and mind. With one thing in<br />
common it has given us a conversation topic.<br />
If you attended either the IBS show in Vegas or<br />
our own Home Show at Hawkeye Downs, I hope<br />
they were advantageous to you. I wish you all success<br />
and a supply of business that keeps you rolling<br />
the rest of the year. Spring is coming and just around<br />
the corner things will start to turn green.<br />
Please look at our calendar of events for the year<br />
and put them down on your schedule to get out<br />
and attend. Our Spring Parade of Homes is fast approaching,<br />
and we wish all of them well in completing<br />
them and getting ready for all of us to get outside<br />
and tour the homes.<br />
I want to personally shout out to Mike Farr being<br />
named the NAHB Associate of the Year and Bill<br />
Polley Advocate for BUILD-PAC Award at IBS. What<br />
a tremendous honor for all his hard work and dedication<br />
that Mike has given this association and industry<br />
over the years. In addition, Joe Greathouse,<br />
Kirkwood Community College Instructor, was honored<br />
as the Outstanding Educator of the Year at the<br />
NAHB Student Chapter Awards Banquet and is willing<br />
a Trustee Award at Kirkwood Community College.<br />
Joe is a leader in the state and country with<br />
skilled trades workforce development programs and<br />
opportunities. Mike and Joe, we are thankful that<br />
you represent Cedar Rapids and the State of Iowa<br />
and very blessed to have your leadership.<br />
