2022 Dues Letter from the President

On behalf of everyone at SBCA, thank you for being a member of our growing organization! Your involvement in this member-driven association supports our industry, as well as the broader construction supply chain. Today, we are asking you to renew your membership for the coming year and continue your investment in our efforts to grow the voice of our industry as we seek to increase market share for our industry’s products and services!

The direct benefits of membership also have never been greater. SBCA is pleased to announce that all members will be given access to the new Digital QC program at no additional cost.  This is huge! A robust in-plant quality control (QC) program is an essential part of putting out a good product and being able to quickly recognize when equipment isn’t calibrated right or new production employees need additional training. In today’s fast-paced environment, SBCA’s Digital QC program will enable you to conduct inspection faster and give you access to meaningful data quicker.  Sign up to start the on-boarding process.

As a member, you also have access to the lowest price ($5.20) on the most effective risk management tool available to component manufacturers: SBCA’s Jobsite Package. You cannot find a more cost-efficient way to protect yourself in the event of an installation error or construction defect lawsuit than our jobsite package. If you aren’t sending one out with every job you deliver, I’d strongly encourage you to take another look at this simple and affordable tool.  If you are using the jobsite package, did you know it's also available in a customizable, electronic format?

SBCA is committed to keeping you informed and engaged in everything impacting the component manufacturing industry. From advocacy on code changes, federal regulations, and legislation, to sharing the latest developments through SBCA Magazine, the week’s top industry news headlines, business podcasts, lumber podcasts, and an extensive library of educational webinars.  There are also a ton of tools and training programs available through SBCA’s website.  Don’t miss out on all this industry-specific resources.

It's been difficult to travel the last few years, so don’t miss this opportunity to attend our industry’s trade show, BCMC 2022, in Columbus, Ohio. Just think of all the one-on-one conversations you will end up having with the CMs you sit next to in education sessions, meet on the show floor, have dinner together, or meet after hours at supplier-sponsored events. Nothing else comes close to the opportunity BCMC gives each of us to share our struggles, our solutions, and learn together. I sincerely hope you’ll attend this year. Early bird registration just opened, so don’t’ delay and register today!

Sincerely,

Gene Frogale
2022 SBCA President
