CHBA Central Interior Celebrates 50 years
KAMLOOPS — When originally founded in 1965 by Frank Hewlett and Gene Allgaier, the association was a small group of builders loosely formed to share ideas and mutual support through networking. Today it has grown to nearly 200 members and includes builders, developers, trades and suppliers along with the regulators and professionals that service the homebuilding industry. While networking is still one of the CHBA's core values, their commitment to the health of the industry has expanded to include advocacy and education.
"Growing and sustaining a community relies on the efforts of its citizens. All of us in the building industry can take pride in our contribution. Members of CHBA CI have been in the forefront as risk takers, visionaries and leaders. Our efforts have literally built a community," said Matt McCurrach CHBA CI President.
The giving nature of CHBA CI members is reflected by the generous support for high profile events like the Training House and Habitat for Humanity. Away from the high profile events, individual members give back to the community in quiet unassuming ways through a hundred different volunteer causes that improves the quality of life for everyone in the entire community. www.chbaci.ca.
