NFBA is there to help keep you on track and up to date with our Safety Webinar series. In just one virtual hour per month, you can strengthen your post-frame construction safety practices by learning from builders just like yourself who will be sharing their experiences and strategies for sending their workforce home safe every day. Upcoming topics include Competent Person Training & What to do When OSHA Shows up to a Job Site, Safety Record Keeping and the General Duty Clause. Cant make a scheduled webinar? No problem. NFBA records and archives these important educational webinars online which can be accessed by members at any time. Check them out or sign up to join in at https://nfba.org/aws/NFBA/pt/sp/safety-series. Now is also a good time to start thinking about which of your amazing projects you will submit for NFBAs prestigious Building of the Year Awards. Make sure you are taking lots of photos and gathering information about the project so that when it is time to submit your application(s) you will be all ready to go. The application process will open mid-August and will stay open for the remainder of the year. Winners will be recognized with a plaque at the Awards Luncheon at the 57th Annual Conference & Expo April 2-4, 2025, in Knoxville, TN; showcased during the expo in NFBAs Booth for more than 1,000 building and design professionals to view; featured in NFBAs Frame Builder Magazine; posted on NFBAs official website www.nfba.org, and recognized on NFBAs social media outlets. Make sure you don't miss this opportunity!As I mentioned above, the 2025 Conference & Expo will be in Knoxville, TN and your Board and Committees are already working hard planning a great industry event in this secret gem of a city. Knoxville is not only easy to get to by car or plane, but it is filled with walkable attractions, restaurants and bars. We are excited to continue the amazing energy that we saw in Des Moines, IA this past year by bringing it to Knoxville. I hope the rest of your Summer if filled with successes both in business and life. Work hard, but make sure you take time for yourself and your family and stay safe!Robyn OmmenNFBA PresidentSherwin Williams Coil Coatings6 / FRAME BUILDER - VOL5 3"
