We are looking forward to another great year for MPDBA during 2008-9 term. This past year has seen us travel to many other Associations to grow and learn from their experiences. We have hosted a wide spectrum of speakers at our annual meetings from different walks of life and we have contributed to our community both physically and monetarily.

Our Association has grown in terms of members over the past months. Your Boards and efforts during this new term is to have our Board and Executive Officers focus on quality of service so that each firm continues to receive excellent value for their membership dollars.If we, as an Association, can achieve this continuing value, enabling each members business to expand and thrive, further membership growth will take care of itself.

We are happy that our membership mix includes not only builders, trades and renovators; but also an eclectic representation of related professionals, retailers and service providers, which makes the networking opportunities limited only by one's willingness to get involved. Visit our members page to see our diversity. http://www.mpdbuilders.com/directory/index.asp

I would like to encourage everyone in our Association to maximize their membership and also invite prospective members to speak to me or any Director about the many advantages of the MPDBA.

President 2008-9
