BIA & Home Builders Care honor outstanding volunteers
The Building Industry Association of the RRV and Home Builders Care of F-M Foundation are excited to recognize this year's top volunteers, celebrating their dedication to the association, the industry and the community. A committee of staff and members chose the three "volunteer of the year" honorees. Staff chose the Extra Mile award winner. They will all be recognized at the New Year Celebration Jan. 30!
