The mission of the Structural Building Components Association (SBCA) Magazine is to increase the knowledge of and to promote the common interests of those engaged in manufacturing and distributing structural building components. Further, the SBCA Magazine strives to ensure growth, continuity and increased professionalism in our industry, and to be the information conduit by staying abreast of leading-edge issues. The magazine’s editorial focus is geared toward the entire structural building component industry, which includes the membership of the Structural Building Components Association (SBCA). 

This issue highlights the people, programs, and ideas shaping the future of the structural building components industry. It also continues the story of the Langetree Community Center, focusing on the students behind the Big Heroes, Tiny Homes project and the meaningful impact they are making in their community while demonstrating the importance of workforce development for the industry’s future. Read the full issue to see how these efforts are strengthening the industry today and building the workforce of tomorrow.
