Where Do My Dues Dollars Go?

Where do my dues dollars go? And what am I getting for what I pay? These questions are most often asked by current,new and future members. Just a reminder that the services provided, either directly or indirectly, are of higher valuethan the total amount of your dues. Let’s take a look at the Building Industry Association (BIA) of Stark & East CentralOhio dues and what services are provided.The total dues amount that the BIA of Stark & East Central Ohio currently invoices Builder members is $610 (includesdinner meetings for one). Associate member dues are $510. It is important to know and remember that the amountsare split between three different associations—BIA of Stark & East Central Ohio, Ohio Home Builders Association, andNational Association of Home Builders.

Builders AssociatesNational Association of Home Builders (NAHB) $198.00 $198.00Ohio Home Builders Association (OHBA) $90.00 $90.00BIA of Stark & East Central Ohio $322.00 $222.00

Total $610.00 $510.00

Let’s first take a look at the $198 that is sent to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The BIA of Stark &East Central Ohio is affiliated with NAHB. When you join our local Association, you also join NAHB. That membershipentitles you to everything from discounts on car rentals, hotels, and office supplies to mobile phones, shipping,computers and other services. Your NAHB dues also support the University of Housing, which provides training andcertification programs through our local Association. One of the most significant services your dues support at thenational level is representation on behalf of members at the nation’s Capitol. Promoting legislation that is favorable tohomebuilders is something that must be done. No member can afford to do it alone at the national level.Second is the $90 that we forward to the Ohio Home Builders Association on your behalf. At the state level, your duessupport representation in the legislature, as well as various offices within state government. The BIA of Stark & EastCentral Ohio is continually monitoring proposed laws and regulations that will affect your business. From building codesto land use, to environmental and energy codes, taxes, property rights and job site safety; you won’t find anyone willingto monitor all proposed regulatory and legislative changes for the great rate of $90 per year.Third is the dollar amount that stays here locally at the BIA of Stark & East Central Ohio. A professional staff is retainedto implement Association policies and to carry out the work of the Association, major elements of which aregovernmental affairs and community relations, education and training, communications, meetings and programs, andadministration of BIA business affairs. More importantly, our popular consumer shows, the Parade of Homes, the StarkCounty Home & Garden Show, and the Spring & Fall Circuits of New Homes, are all conducted to help your businessincrease leads and sales.Together, these three Associations (local, state and national) form one of the nation’s largest and strongest tradeorganizations that benefit an industry of such fundamental importance.Our Associations comprise the only organization working around the clock exclusively in the interest of theresidential building industry.
