A Letter From the HBA of Columbia President

Hello! Thank you for your interest in this great organization! The Home Builder’s Association of Columbia has been a staple in our community for decades protecting and providing for our members. The HBA (Home Builder’s Association) serves and represents businesses from all aspects of the home building, remodeling, and construction services industry in our community. Over the last few years, our industry has been hit hard and we are still seeing the effects of Covid-19 today. We were shut down and it was hard to host events for our members during this time. Over the last year, we have worked diligently to rebuild the HBA and get things back on track for our members. With the help of past president, Brad Young, and some key board members we have much to be excited about in the coming years. The HBA will stand by its mission to unite, represent, and preserve the building industry in our community. We will provide opportunities for our members through education, networking, and professional development. Most importantly, we will serve our members to protect and promote their interests, the interests of our customers, and the interests of the construction industry as a whole in our community. 

With the help of our new Executive Officer, Jami Clevenger, the HBA will be committed to having regular events for our members. These events will have a wide range of purposes from networking, education, and opportunities for our members to demonstrate their expertise to the community. We will continue to grow and enhance the experiences we offer at the annual Home Show event and the annual Fall & Spring Parade of Homes. 

Additionally, we plan to create more experiences and events for our members to showcase the amazing work they do in their respective construction field. Consider our members the best of the best when it comes to the construction industry as they are held to a higher standard professionally and ethically. You will find a directory with contact information for members on our website and encourage you to always hire an HBA member for your construction projects. 

We are very excited for what is to come in 2023 and are looking forward to laying the foundation for what the Home Builder’s Association of Columbia is to become in the future! 

Best, 

Orie Hemme 

President of The Home Builder’s Association of Columbia
