1. Three for one membership.
When you join our local association (Central Oregon Builders Association), you receive the benefits of three memberships. You automatically become a member of the state (Oregon Home Builders Association) and national level (National Association of Home Builders), -- that's three for the price of one.
2. Powerful Advocacy
Every day, NAHB, OHBA and COBA fight to defeat excessive regulations that are driving up the cost of housing. That puts money and time back in your pocket! On a local level, we keep you informed promptly and provide opportunities for you to make a difference. For example, meetings are held monthly between COBA members and city and county staff to keep channels of communication open between the industry and those who develop and enforce building regulations. These casual meetings are open to any COBA member.
3. Critical News and Information
Knowledge is your best defense in this rapidly changing industry and Association Membership is the single most-authoritative source of housing information. Your membership ensures that you'll be in-the-know. With timely news alerts, COBA's monthly mailing, "Building Central Oregon", and NAHB magazine, special interest publications, plus 24x7 access to coba.org and nahb.net, you get the latest building information as soon as it's released. Your professional staff at COBA, OHBA, and NAHB are only a phone call away to help you find the information you need.
4. Invaluable Networking Opportunities
As an alliance of over 875 local members, over 5,000 state members, and 230,000 plus national members from all areas of the industry, association membership is a one-stop networking shop! From local networking COBA Connections, and monthly General Membership Meetings, to state and national conventions, committees, and other special events, there are hundreds of ways for you to meet and build relationships with fellow professionals, customers and suppliers.
5. Business Opportunities
Sponsorships, Advertising, Tour of Homes, Online Directory, Spring & Fall Home Shows, Tour of Remodeled Homes... There is something to fit your marketing need and budget. And many more member exclusive events.
6. Access to Expert Advisors
Wouldn't it be great to have a team of industry experts at your disposal to address your specific business questions for free? When you become a member, you get instant access to NAHB's distinguished economists, legal research staff, financial experts, librarians, and regulatory and technical specialists. 7. Exposure to the Latest Building Products and Services
As a COBA member, you can attend OHBA and NAHB's trade shows and expositions at a low member price and get a first-hand look at all the latest products and services. NAHB's annual International Builders' Show has over 105,000 attendees, 1,600 exhibits, and over 200 educational sessions. NAHB also sponsors the annual Remodelers' Show, the International Commercial Construction Expo (ICCON), the Seniors Housing Show, the Multifamily Trends Conference, and more. 8. Fun, Fun, Fun
All work and no play makes for a dull association. COBA offers a variety of social events such as our annual Golf Tournaments, Casino Night/Installation Banquet, Winter Party, and COBA Connections. All are a great way to have fun and get to know your fellow members. 9. Member Discounts
COBA Members receive a coupon book with special discounts for COBA Special events, Membership Meetings and Advertising. Through OHBA's Insurance Programs, members can participate in specialized insurance programs specifically for the Oregon Construction Industry. And, NAHB provides members with discounts from 5% to 69% on hotels, car rentals, office products, PCs, overnight delivery, and more. 10. Giving back to the Community
