We are thrilled to announce the winners of the 2017 NARI Chapter Grant Program! This year we had 31 grant applications from 19 chapters. Thank you to all of the chapters and their volunteers who took the time to put together an entry and to the Budget Task Force for assuring that the initiative was carried over for another year.
The Chapter Grant Program continues to ignite creativity and produce fantastic programs and winning concepts which will be shared with all NARI chapters in the coming weeks. Our judges were two independent association executives whose backgrounds include applying for grant monies; the judges were not affiliated with the remodeling or construction industry. The Chapter Grant Program budget for 2017 was $25,000 and it was divided among the following five winners. The head judge noted “I found scoring these fairly straightforward, but after re-reviewing the list way too many times, I found submitting winners difficult. The projects being submitted are more complex than the past couple years”.
And the winners are ...
- Greater Phoenix NARI - Greater Phoenix NARI to Consumer to Contractor Online Marketing
- NARI Diablo Valley and San Francisco Bay Area NARI - San Francisco Bay Area NARI Awareness Program
- NARI Greater Dallas - Contractor Lunch and Roundtable
- Central Ohio - Membership Recruitment Campaign
- San Francisco Bay Area NARI - Time Management-The Balance between work, life and our associations
Please watch your email for details on these programs. Congratulations!

A message from NARI Industry Partner, Spring Dew
 What lesson can we draw from the impact of sites like Travelocity and Priceline on the hotel industry? Last week, two people from two industries mentioned something to me that you might not have thought of as a common problem to both. If you’re busier than you’ve ever been but still not making what you want, this may be why.

My husband, Bill and I have been doing residential remodels since 1990. We became NARI members in 1999 and became actively involved in the Idaho chapter shortly thereafter. I served on the local board in various positions, including president, and got the opportunity to attend national meetings and conferences. At those conferences, I realized the importance of education and certification. Since I’ve always loved learning, I decided to take the Certified Remodeler exam myself to see what it was all about.

 Once again, baby boomers are bucking conventional wisdom. The scenario oft-repeated within the housing industry is that boomers are sitting on a lot of home equity and will at some point sell their current family-oriented homes and buy housing that will better support an older active lifestyle, thus creating a lot of churn and demand in the market. Several recent reports, however, suggest that boomers may not cooperate with that scenario.

The Consumer Price Index increased 0.6 percent in January on a seasonally adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index rose 2.5 percent before seasonal adjustment.
The January increase was the largest seasonally adjusted all items increase since February 2013. A sharp rise in the gasoline index accounted for nearly half the increase, and advances in the indexes for shelter, apparel and new
vehicles also were major contributors.
