The National Association of Home Builders announced that it has named New River Valley Home Builders Association as a Grand Award winner as part of the 2024 Annual Membership Awards.

Of all HBAs in its size category, New River Valley Home Builders Association had the highest retention rate for 2024.

"We are incredibly honored to receive the NAHB Grand Award for Outstanding Membership Efforts," said Kelsey Grow, Executive Officer of the New River Valley Home Builders Association. "This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our board, staff, and members who work tirelessly to create a strong, connected community of building professionals.”

NAHB’s Grand Awards honor local and state HBAs that have demonstrated exceptional achievement in membership growth and retention. These awards are given to the top association from each group size in several membership categories, including numerical increase, percentage increase, annual retention rate and highest increase in Affiliate members.

New River Valley Home Builder Association’s growth is attributed to several membership recruitment and retention strategies, including support from their membership committee, successful community and educational events, and a shared commitment to the home building industry. These efforts helped create a strong sense of community and attracted new members to the organization.

The NRVHBA invites all businesses connected to the home building industry to join its network.
