Benefits of Membership
3 in 1 Membership. As a member of GCBA you are also a member of the Colorado Association of Home Builders (CAHB) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and have access to all member benefits of each organization. Political Action is a very important amenity of membership. On a national level, at the state level and particularly at the local level, the Home Builders Association is a respected and powerful voice in the political arena. In 2000 the CAHB was instrumental in the defeat of what could have been the devastating Amendment 24 no growth initiative. In 2003 CAHB successfully supported the passing of HB1161, Constructive Litigation Reform.
Networking Opportunities are one of the greatest advantages of membership. Each meeting or event is an opportunity to talk with other contractors and suppliers about new ideas and methods that could help with your business. Access to the list of members is another way membership can assist in making contacts.
Educational Opportunities are provided through the builders associations and have included topics in the past such as OSHA training, roofs and ice damming, fire mitigation, safety, contracts, insurance classes, and lien releases. Many educational materials are available through State and National.
