The HBA has three councils that provide specialized participation, member recognition, and networking events. These councils include the Professional Women in Building Council, the Remodelers Council, and the Triangle Sales and Marketing Council. Each of these Councils provides an effective forum for the exchange of ideas by offering monthly meetings and social opportunities as well as an opportunity to stand out from the crowd. Council participation shows dedication to that trade, can help distinguish an individual, establish credibility in a specialty, and provide more features and highlights of a particular building area.
