Happy Labor Day from AIBD! [MondayMINUTE]

AIBD is observing the holiday by turning off the phones (that are currently forwarding right to our laptop computers and mobile devices) and ignoring our email, at least for today.

How to safely celebrate Labor Day during a pandemic (by USA Today)…

Mike is celebrating his 25th year of membership and has served almost every board position except President. He continues to serve the AIBD community with advice, mentoring, and education.

Willie joined AIBD in 1993 (27 years ago) and has spent most of those years providing educational opportunities to the members through conferences, societies, and chapters.

In response, “AIBD has been a great benefit to me and my clients.” Wrote Dalrymple. Keesee added, “I’m honored and have always been proud to be associated with our organization.”

Members may be nominated for a Lifetime membership by current Professional members at AIBD.org/lifetime-membership-nomination.

AIBD continues to improve its proceedures during these challenging times.

Among the ongoing planning, according to the Conference Committee:

Is the spike in construction costs affecting any of your projects or project start dates?

To help your clients look at alternatives have you considered metal studs?

Or advanced framing?

Let’s discuss and share ideas.

This only happens twice a year and in other words, it is the moment at which the center of the visible Sun is directly above the equator.

In even simpler terms, this means that the day is almost literally “divided in half” with the same amount of time of daylight as there is night time.

For that one day, join AIBD And get an “Out of this World!” deal – half-off of your first year of membership.
