Community Outreach

This committee has several sub-committees which help to promote the importance of our organization to our community.

The Scholarship Committee was initiated in 2003 and was established to encourage strong relationships between builders, local associations and local colleges. The HBA Scholarship Program is aimed at expanding balanced educational opportunities at learning institutions by providing financial assistance to area students seeking careers in the building trades.

Proceeds from the HBA Silent Action and the HBA Home Show raffle have made the HBA Scholarship Program Possible. The HBA Scholarship Committee sends out applications to area schools, then meets to review the applications and select the recipient that will be announced at the General Membership Meeting in May.

The Silent Auction, which is held in conjunction with the HBA BBQ in June, has raised a lot of money to support the HBA Scholarship fund.

This committee consists of one chairman and several other members who organize the event, which includes recruiting the donated items, collecting donated items, prepare for the day of the event, setting up, as well as working during the event.

The Community Outreach Committee will also review potential projects that the HBA could become involved in.

Scholarship committee meets once in April to review applications, unless additional meetings needed to review procedures.
