Building Industries Exchange of Pottstown Affiliates with NARI
The Building Industries Exchange of Pottstown and Vicinity Inc., is proud to announce its new name as NARI-BIE chapter, having affiliated with National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). Formerly, the group functioned as an independent organization with the same vision and goal as NARI—to professionalize the remodeling industry through continued education and high standards of business practice.
“We’re excited to align ourselves with a nationally recognized organization,” says Thomas L. Zeigler, NARI-BIE chapter president and president of Thomas L. Zeigler, PE Inc., based in Pottstown, Pa. “The needs of members have changed, and we are looking forward to re-establishing the organization by bringing in beneficial programs and resources from NARI that bring value to membership.”
Some of the things Zeigler hopes to accomplish this year as a NARI chapter are providing education and certification programming, resurrecting a local home show, continuing a local awards program, expanding networking and programming opportunities and partnering with local trade and vocational schools to strengthen workforce development.
“We are in a better position now than we were on our own to reinforce the ideals of good remodeling business practices in the community by becoming a resource for members and the public,” he says.
NARI-BIE hopes to use the momentum of becoming a NARI chapter to forge relationships with local government entities and community development agencies. Zeigler is hopeful this activity will attract young professional members who are committed to moving the group’s mission forward well into the future.
NARI leaders will welcome representatives from the NARI-BIE chapter during the 2012 Spring Business Meeting held on April 18 to 21 at the Gaylord Texan Hotel and Conference Center
Grapevine (Dallas), Texas.
The NARI-BIE Chapter meets the third Tuesday of the month beginning at 5:30 pm at Brookside Country Club, Pottstown. Admission is $25 per person. Individuals wishing to attend can email the NARI-BIE Office at info@pottstownbie.org or call 610-323-1700.
