What Our Members Are Saying

“I am incredibly grateful to all the builders, contractors and homeowners that trust us with your window and door needs. I am also incredibly grateful for the amazing job our local BIA does at not just helping us grow our business but helping us build some amazing relationships in this vibrant community.”

— Nick Dorsey, BIA Member

“Two of the biggest pluses for me are the networking opportunities and the advocacy. We have more opportunities for interaction with our peers, suppliers, and customers in this organization than in any other I have been a part of. And a lot of people do not realize how much the BIA fights for our industry at a local, state, and federal level.” 

Bobby McCormick, K-I Lumber and Building Materials

“The BIA has been a great experience for me personally and for my business.  The BIA offers numerous social events where you meet builders, suppliers, subcontractors, etc.  The relationships I have formed have been invaluable.  I’ve become a better builder because of these relationships.  Also, the BIA offers great classes where builders can satisfy their continuing education requirements and learn along the way.  As they say, learning is a lifelong endeavor.  Lastly, the BIA works tirelessly with local and state officials to keep our industry viable and to help limit regulations.  We all benefit from these efforts.  I believe my dues help keep us all working and help our community grow.”

Mark Simpson, Simpson Builders, Inc.

“L&N Federal Credit Union has been a proud member of the BIA for the past 20 years.  We have been able to build strong, lasting relationships with builders and associate members through the BIA committees and networking events. L&N wants to be a financial resource to any member of the BIA, whether it be your business checking account, truck loans for your company vehicles, or construction loans for you or your clients.  We appreciate the mutually benefitting relationships and look forward to many more years of partnership to come!”

P.J. Moore, L&N Federal Credit Union
