What CAHBA has to offer

At first, many people only see membership fees, monthly meetings, and the golf tournament. To be fair our monthly meetings and yearly tournament focus on education and networking, but there is much more going on. Activities in our local and state government affect Cabot home builders. The AHBA and NAHB are both dedicated to enhancing the climate for housing and the building industry by promoting policies that will keep housing a national priority with local regulators and policymakers.
