We had an excellent Expo with a record number of exhibitors and new attendees! Inside this Issue you will find 3 action-packed days worth of photo highlights. From the outstanding educational sessions and the afterhours social events to the Expo Floor, something new was around every corner. Inside this Issue, you will also find the 2023 Building of the Year (BOY) Award Winners, the Excellence in Safety Award Winners, the 2023 Crew Foreman of the Year, and the 2023 Bernon G. Perkins Award Winner. I want to commend the companies that participated this year. So much goes into these award submissions and these winners are truly deserving of recognition for all of their hard work.Lastly, a very special Thank You goes out to all the Board and Committee Members, the NFBA Staff, our Builder Members, our loyal Exhibitors and our Expo Sponsors. None of this would be possible without you. You are the driving force that allows the Association to continue to provide our members with quality education and a full expo where they can learn about the latest technology and products to advance their operations, and in turn, the industry. Mark your calendars to join us next year, April 2-4, 2025, in Knoxville, TN. Our Annual Expo may be over, but the excitement continues as NFBAs social channels grow and new members join us every day. If you havent already, check out NFBA on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter (X), and YouTube. And remember, the NFBA Website, www.nfba.org, is there to keep you informed of all the great work this association is doing for our members and the post-frame industry. Im looking forward to the next year as NFBA President and all we can do together.Robyn OmmenNFBA President6 / FRAME BUILDER - VOL5 2"
