Every year it is a privilege of the Oklahoma Home Builders Aassociation to hold the annual OK Building Summit & Expo. The initial idea behind the Summit was to help those builders and associates who cannot attend the International Builders Show an alternative – a mini-IBS if you will. It provides great education with an opportunity to meet and greet local vendors. It has grown where those that attend can obtain all the hours they need to complete their annual continuing education requirements for their Certified Professional Builder credentials.
This year we are stretching to do even more. With the slate of speakers, we have lined up, there is education, not only for the builder, but their superintendents, their sales staff, and even their framers! While not everyone needs CEU credits, everyone can utilize the education they will receive. Then add to that the networking environment and the great vendors and sponsors – it is a Summit you do not want to miss!
Let’s look at a few examples. Not only do we have Scott Sedam back with his amazing knowledge of processes, but we also are bringing in Charlie Scott to help sales staff and builders know what it takes to make an ultimate sales team. Realtors will gain invaluable knowledge in selling new home construction.
We also have Dr. Chris Ramseyer, a structural engineer, along with Mike Hancock, another engineer, sharing their insights and knowledge in proper techniques from framing to water barrier installations. These are classes your field guys will really appreciate.
Last one for everyone, even though there is much, much more. Ted Jones, recently retired chief economist for Stewart Title, brings his unique presentation methods to understanding the economic picture and what he expects to happen in the near future.
So, I call this one a Summit for Everyone. Take time to come and join us! You can sign up here to attend.
