MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER Dear HBRA Members, T hanks to all that attended the Legislative Night/ General Membership Meeting on March 1st. The legislators that attended heard from our members on the key issues that effect the building industry and the business climate. Let’s keep up the momentum and plan to attend the Home Building Day (HBID) at the Capitol on April 26th. See page 6 for registration details.

Thanks to all of the Associate members who set up displays and to the builders who joined us for this fabulous event. See the photos on pages 10-12. We had a full house for the March 3rd Energy Codes, sponsored by Energize CT and Ring’s End. And we are SOLD OUT for the March 30th and 31st, we have an OSHA 10 Construction class. We have since scheduled a May OSHA 10 class - see page 32 for details. Register for the April 5th Barbecue/ General Membership Meeting at Connecticut Stone.
