An expanding offering of professional training programs and seminars are hosted or sponsored by the HBACA.  Our goal is to provide critical information that improves the knowledge and professional development of those employed in our industry.

Southwest Builders Show
Our annual tradeshow, the Southwest Builders Show, is the Valley’s only industry-exclusive show for residential construction and has become recognized as a premier event for Associate and Builder members.  As an Associate member, you can create invaluable exposure and establish key contacts with hundreds of homebuilder staff who attend this one-day expo.  Throughout the event, the HBACA hosts a series of informative educational seminars which provide exceptional insights into our industry and the forces that bring about change.

State & Local Government Liaison
You stay close to the decision-makers through the services of the Association’s professional lobbying staff.  We work on your behalf in all of the Valley’s cities and towns; in Maricopa, Pinal and Yavapai Counties; and with state agencies, the governor’s office and the legislature.  NAHB representatives actively lobby in Washington, meeting regularly with members of Congress, administration officials and cabinet officers to ensure housing remains a top priority during the formation of national policy.  NAHB maintains the nation’s third largest trade association Political Action Committee.

SCF / Workers' Compensation Plan
Save money year after year.  A “can’t lose” plan that enables Association members to lower the cost of workmen’s compensation insurance by sharing in a group dividend in addition to the fund’s regular dividend.  The plan’s success can be measured in dollars.  Participants in the plan have been paid dividends every year since its inception in 1969.

Committee & Council Memberships
Tailor your committee involvement to areas of special interest – Associates Roundtable, Builder Advisory Committees, Sales & Marketing Council, Utility Coordination Committee, Sales Managers Roundtable, Safety Committee and much more.

Voluntary Affirmative Marketing Agreement (VAMA)
The purpose of the Voluntary Affirmative Marketing Agreement between the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), and the HBACA is to advance and provide fair housing for all through programs of affirmative marketing, outreach, and education.  Becoming a signatory to the Association’s VAMA relieves builder members from their obligation to develop fair housing marketing plans and allows the Association to provide the outreach and education on behalf of its members.

MAME Awards Program

AZ Green Builder Program 
AZ Green Builder (AZGB) is a voluntary green standard for production home subdivisions.  Using input from utility companies, builders, suppliers, trade partners, and design professionals, the program takes into account local climatic conditions and construction methods. The five main components of the program are: Energy Efficiency; Water Conservation; Resource Efficiency; Improved Indoor Air Quality; and Operation, Maintenance and Homeowner Education. Builders who participate in the program will have brand recognition by municipalities, utilities, builders, lenders and the home buying public throughout the region. 

Parade of Homes
The Parade of Homes brings together the Valley’s best builders and developers with buyers who are eager to purchase a new home in the greater Phoenix area.  Builder members have the opportunity to enter their production homes, custom homes and master-planned communities, and Associate members have a variety of options to participate such as advertising or sponsorship.  But regardless of how you participate, thousands of potential home buyers will see your excellence in home building quality.
