Last week we hosted our biggest event of the year, the Midwest Builders Show® & Conference.  After a weekend of much-needed rest we are back in the office and hitting the ground running for our upcoming spring and summer events & initiatives.  I would like to thank all the exhibitors, sponsors, instructors and attendees for coming out for a truly great event.  Thank you also to all the members who volunteered throughout the course of the show, we very much appreciate your support.  Hopefully you were all able to enjoy yourselves at our annual house party.  I was approached by many members who had great things to say about our educational conference this year and the quality of our attendees.   Chairs Mike Cason, Dick Greenwood and Tracy Holmes deserve a round of thanks for their contributions this year!   Have a great week!
