Member Rebate Program - Announcing Revenue Share for Locals
|

back to top
|
The Member Rebate Program has been a successful program for the Builder and Remodeler members that have taken advantage of the program. We would like to have more of the membership participate in this great program. To accomplish this, your State HBA has negotiated with the program administrators to provide the following:
For all Builders and Remodelers that have not previously participated
(Claimed) in the Member Rebate Program, the Local Association will receive a royalty of 2 ½% of those new Builder or Remodeler participants! That payment will not affect the amount of money the Builder or Remodeler receives. Payments to the Local Associations will be sent in the month following the payment to all the Builder or Remodeler members.
Not only are you going to receive this excellent source of non-dues income, the program administrators have developed a website for our program. You can put a link to this site on your website to make marketing the program easy.
The address is: www.hbarebates.com/oshba
This website has the information on the Member Rebate Program, current Newsletter, Registration, and Rebate Claim Forms. All of your Builder or Remodeler members can claim for all homes, remodeling projects, or multi-family units completed from January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010 and the deadline for submission is August 18th, 2010.
The new July’10 Newsletter is now available to view please click here.
This is an excellent opportunity for you and your members to take advantage of a proven program that works as a great tool for recruitment and retention.
For additional information or questions, please call 866-849-8400 or via email at: info@hbarebates.com.
Thank you,
Rich Robinson

Dear State HBA members,
I am again issuing a call for volunteers to help on the technical committees for the Uniform Building Code Commission (UBCC). This important commission was formed to establish the first statewide building code for Oklahoma.
I attended their monthly meeting yesterday and they will begin studying the adoption of the IRC 2009. There are some important items contained in that code that need to be thoroughly studied to see if they need to be included in Oklahoma's statewide code.
BUT, there has yet to be a builder step forward to be a volunteer to give their input on the code adoption process. Our appointee, Curtis McCarty (a builder in Norman) needs some help. Please give Curtis a call or drop him an email and he will let you know what will be involved.
Please contact him today! His number is (405) 310-3210 and his email is CMcCarty@CAMcCartyConstruction.com.
Thanks for all you do to make our association the professional association that it is!
Mike Means
