Chris received the President’s Gavel, provided by Benchmark Title Company, along with the official NAHB Local President Pin. Chris’ incoming speech discussed one of the most important things to the HBA - Membership! Membership has many meanings - it can be business connections, staying current on industry challenges, opportunities, comradery etc. Overall the HBA is here to improve our businesses and the lives of everyone we work with. Members mean everything to the HBA, they would not exist without members, their knowledge, service, time, expertise, connections and so on. If every member would recruit just one member we would not only double in size but think about the influence we would have on our industry, on our state and most importantly on our businesses. “I believe in the HBA and what it stands for and how it helps all of our businesses and our great industry. Our HBA is one of the largest locals in the state and has one of the highest retention rates of its members. We need to challenge ourselves in what can the HBA do for us and what can we do to enhance the influence of the HBA and therefore our industry as a whole” 2018 HBA President - Chris Matteo Special thank you to everyone who helped and contributed to making this wonderful evening possible! 11 ׉ 7cassandra://TRFZWqCt6UREYmERHa8OKxNBWU25IW5kJOMosTCmCns+f`ZN䰉/3<ZN䰉/3<(בCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://1cxwKL0UVH6t2XjoLC0zp91-ZClREMlAK4Shw0ghx-M`׉ 7cassandra://rALlrHC7RZGkcFtRHGExzvQOMrr310q5HZ8W_l2Q72sͰ`s׉ 7cassandra://oLkA_ecSa5YvB9QioT1ndBajAgboVtKU_2QOtFnY3ZM0Q`׉ 7cassandra://RnFFhTC2BXHVw90iXUdCYIPu5apjbNl4kkE3p5Ti5p8͞͠]ZN䰉/3<ט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://vhGl3dQB_psZJgiVIzec0ybFINl8lJD8b7r53w-W5SMU`׉ 7cassandra://MEWzkljE7bR16PdFW-rq6l9PxBx_lAIZ73O2AMDFNCM͂%`s׉ 7cassandra://hGO4hjLXsmSPV-Uku2eXC4YSoslh2txbzzQHsZ_83jY+i`׉ 7cassandra://AnRVKqf0_XW4Z-E97WORTcNsbaQSAQXC1QKI8hD9H80+͠]ZN䰉/3<נZO䰉/3<ҁ̟9ׁHhttp://www.zanolaco.comׁ ׁ ЈנZO䰉/3<с̵9ׁHmailto:zanola@zanolaco.comׁ ׁ Ј׉E2017 LOCAL NEW HOME START PERMIT REPORTS Madison County, IL Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec YTD Totals 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 56 59 91 70 90 67 73 54 59 40 45 31 40 61 66 61 40 59 92 51 38 33 14 9 32 25 42 39 39 33 42 34 30 18 29 35 42 34 31 31 31 45 25 29 11 13 26 33 27 33 29 31 20 19 16 14 10 32 27 15 26 20 58 26 22 30 21 24 24 29 23 31 39 37 34 86 15 11 11 16 67 21 11 22 15 27 27 15 10 21 36 32 38 33 35 37 32 25 29 14 19 29 30 40 27 24 25 34 28 14 11 24 28 22 21 19 19 17 32 18 27 34 17 20 21 14 20 18 14 16 10 27 738 589 359 371 272 300 381 257 344 294 265 Monroe County, IL Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec YTD Totals 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 21 17 28 25 27 20 22 19 13 23 10 13 10 9 14 11 3 7 10 9 11 11 9 13 15 12 6 13 13 9 14 11 7 8 5 7 7 6 8 8 14 10 2 6 14 13 12 8 12 8 6 11 10 9 7 8 16 10 12 10 8 9 9 16 10 5 9 18 12 9 6 9 8 10 9 5 9 9 10 12 7 13 11 18 10 7 5 7 4 7 8 10 7 16 7 12 8 8 11 11 16 12 17 7 12 5 8 10 18 15 15 10 12 12 11 9 11 10 12 9 21 4 5 3 9 3 5 6 9 8 7 7 229 126 97 130 92 106 120 112 127 138 122 St. Clair County, IL Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec YTD Totals 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 93 87 129 98 115 100 90 80 66 70 51 63 60 49 47 76 55 48 40 38 59 23 17 30 38 50 52 62 53 66 38 40 42 50 49 78 86 51 45 65 67 58 42 34 26 41 43 44 52 51 41 43 41 40 27 27 30 47 40 33 46 35 42 27 29 32 30 30 39 40 40 45 30 21 26 31 23 34 24 33 25 49 46 34 33 37 35 23 28 15 42 38 27 34 34 39 34 38 18 32 30 44 30 40 37 27 46 41 29 40 32 27 39 38 29 37 16 22 21 23 28 49 40 55 47 25 26 32 17 24 22 29 1028 598 543 672 474 414 387 390 371 418 341 Top Municipalities YTD: 108 = Unincorporated 50 = Troy 31 = Edwardsville 23 = Highland 22 = Maryville Top Municipalities YTD: 44 = Columbia 43 = Waterloo 35 = Unincorporated Top Municipalities YTD: 119 = O'Fallon 73 = Unincorporated 48 = Shiloh 31 = Belleville 30 = Mascoutah MarketGraphics provides the HBA with these permit reports.
