President's Message
Julie
More NARI Benefits
Julie Cook


Happy November! 

 
I can hardly believe this year has gone by so quickly. I guess this is something we tell our children who are counting the days in anticipation of their birthdays or an important holiday and we step in with a comment, "Slow down, when you get older the days, weeks, months and years will fly by."

I hear hopeful news that business is improving in the remodeling industry. I have spoke to several members and non-members alike who say that business has picked up significantly and they are looking forward to next year what that will bring for them.

That said, I it is important to remind you of the many benefits of membership in NARI. I hope you are taking advantage of them. We list many in the newsletter, and you can find them on the GreaterPhoenixNARI.org website and the NARI.org website including free webinars, testimonial videos, estimate software and even health insurance. Next year the Health Care Reform Bill is going to take affect. If you need to offer health care to your employees -- see what NARI offers.

These are just a few of many benefits beyond the networking with other members at the meetings and beyond. See you at Ferguson's. Don't forget to bring your canned good donations with you.

 

 

Sincerely, 
Julie Cook
