3-in-1 Membership · National
NAHB
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HOME BUILDERS
When you join BBIA, you also become a member of NAHB. That is the national tier of your 3-in-1 membership: local BBIA, state FHBA, and national NAHB. NAHB states that joining your local home builders association automatically includes membership at the local, state (where a state association exists), and national levels.
ONE MEMBERSHIP. THREE LEVELS.
NAHB puts it plainly: three memberships for the price of one when you join through your local HBA. BBIA is that local association for all seven counties: Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, and Washington.
