Growing Our Strength Through Member Recruitment, Retention, and Involvement

Recruiting new members to your local association is an activity recognized and rewarded through the NAHB Spike Club Program. Those who participate are called Spikes and they are among the most valued members of the association.

Member-to-member recruitment and retention efforts are highly valued because of the grassroots growth and stability they bring to the association. These efforts lend to the development of the general membership and our leadership pipeline, keeping the face of our association true to that of our industry and the wide scope of interests we represent.

Spikes are the membership leaders of our federation, building the voice, power, and influence on every level, in every state!

“In this era of excessive regulations and inflated costs, the strength of our membership drives our influence. I think I can speak for every member when I say how proud we are to be 235,000 members strong. Thank you, Spikes, for what (and who) you bring to the association.”

— Jerry Howard, Chief Executive Officer
National Association of Home Builders

“Being an ACTIVE member of my local Builders Association gives me an edge over my competition and a forum to meet builders from my area. Each meeting held by the association is an opportunity to spend quality time with the builders, and being present at those events is one of the greatest benefits of membership."

— Christian P. Finke, Associate Member Since 2002
Builders FirstSource, South Texas Division
Greater San Antonio Builders Association

“I applaud those members who participate in the Spike Club Program. You bring new members, new leaders, and new life to our association on every level and your efforts help the federation maintain its strength, year after year. My team and I are here to make your membership experience rewarding and ensure that your recruitment and retention efforts are well worth your while. Thank you for all that you do!”

— Emily Fitzsimmons, Executive Director
NAHB Membership & Associate Member Programs
