Testimonials

"As a lender in the Athens area, my membership in AAHBA has proven to be a valuable business asset..  The monthly meetings and other functions, such as the annual homeshow and golf tournaments are all great opportunities to meet people and form new business contacts. Of course I couldn't mention the AAHBA without mentioning Jean and Lisa, who make it all happen! If you are considering joining, just call me for a reference!" - Susan C. Bogardus, First American Bank & Trust

"The networking at the Athens Area Home Builders Association monthly meetings has been vital to my business..  During the past six years that I have been a member, I have built relationships that have helped make me more successful. Being a member of the Associate Council has had an even greater positive impact on my career. Also, important to me is the community service work that the AAHBA is involved with, such as providing dinner at the Athens Area Homeless Shelter each month. This was a very rewarding experience for me personally." - Jerry Craig, Prudential Blanton Properties

"Williams & Associates has been a member of AAHBA since 1999..  Our company joined the Association as soon as we opened the door, having heard about the organization over the previous years. As president of Williams & Associates, this is something I felt very strongly about. I knew it would be a great way for my company to get involved in the building and development community and meet new clients and contacts in our industry. I have been extremely involved in AAHBA for 8 years and everything I initially thought about the organization has come to fruition. AAHBA has represented our industry in both state and local politics. They have provided a conduit for new clients and contacts, as well as provided much appreciated social interaction between the members. I would recommend anyone in the building and development industry becoming an active member of this very successful organization." - Jon Williams, Williams & Associates

"Being a member of the Athens Area Home Builders Association has been a most rewarding experience..  It has been very beneficial for my construction business as well as my specialty stone company. Before entering the political arena, I was very active in AAHBA, haing served as President and a member of the Board of Directors. I enjoyed the social aspects, benefitted greatly from the business contacts that I made, and was grateful for an avenue to support the building industry. I am proud to say that I continue today to be a member of AAHBA and will always endorse its activities and its causes." - Brian Kemp, Kemp Development & Construction

"The AAHBA has allowed me to network and to obtain a broader perspective of the various aspects of the building industry to which I had never previously been exposed..  I have had the opportunity to create and foster relationships with the people in the Athens area building industry. Being a member of this association has been extremely beneficial for me professionally as well as personally." - Rhett Burruss, Fitzgerald & Burruss, LLC
