NARI National President, Dale Contant, giving his acceptance speechH. Dale Contant, president of Atlanta Design & Build, spent four exciting days at the 2016 National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) Spring Business Meeting April 6-9 in Austin, Texas. The meeting offered inspiring keynote speakers, top-notch educational opportunities, and ample possibilities for networking with his remodeling peers from across the nation. The meeting started out with an inspiring speech by current Chairman of the Board, Judy Mozen, in which NARI was described as having a “can do” attitude. She used the World War II promotion of Rosie the Riveter to exemplify that attitude. Dale was impressed by the energy generated by the attendees who are putting forth great effort to move the association and the remodeling industry forward. Atlanta Design & Build strives to reflect the forward motion of the industry and took a moment on a jobsite to strike their “we can do it” pose. Check out the picture on our about page.

Great Ideas ConferenceLooking ahead to his leadership position as National President in 2016-2017 for the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), Dale Contant wants to make a difference for the association. His desire is to build an even stronger association that can help all its members flourish and attain higher levels of success. With that in mind, he and Fred Ulreich, NARI CEO, attended the 2016 Great Ideas Conference from March 13-15 at The Broadmoor in Colorado Spring, Colorado.

Each year this conference is hosted by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) and draws association executives and directors from across the United States as well as the globe. They discuss the future of associations and the big ideas that will get them ahead of the curve. Every association faces challenges, so this conference encourages the executives to connect with each other and share their ideas. It also inspires them with keynotes, idea labs, educational sessions, leadership workshops and special events. Dale and Fred left the conference feeling energized and ready for an exciting, productive year with NARI.
