Colorado Association of Home Builders

BUILDING COMMUNITIES OF HOMEBUILDERS A wonderful benefit for CAHB members is having access to local events and networking opportunities. The association’s signature event is a housing summit, which involves bringing together builders, developers, economists, and other members, as well as local government and state elected officials. The hope is to help these legislators understand the challenges faced by builders. Other events include the Marketing and Merchandising Excellence Awards and the Test and Builder Awards. “These are big celebrations of the beautiful projects that our membership created in the previous year,” Leighty tells us. Leighty also highlights the Parade of Homes, which is a well-attended consumer-facing event that runs for two weeks each year. For the Metro Denver HBA, their two-week event kicks off with Industry Night, a fabulous party that brings in over 500 members. 6 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 04
