2012 GHBA MARKETING GUIDE
presidents message
Where would you like to take your membership in 2012? Are
you looking to target custom home builders? Remodelers?
Single family builders? Would you like to be present at large
formal events such as Extravaganza, Forecast Luncheon or
the Houstons Best Awards? Do you prefer to network in a
more casual setting, such as one of our golftournaments or
a cook-of?
This Marketing Guide will serve as your road map on how to add
value to your membership, build relationships, and generate
recognition for your company in front of your industry
peers. The association provides members an abundance of
ways to achieve professional development and recognition.
But the sheer number of events and opportunities can be
overwhelming, so we have produced this guide to help you
plan your involvement for 2012 inadvance.
The GHBA Marketing Guide
highlights the majority of events
produced by your association
throughout the course of the year.
All opportunities featured are
accompanied by descriptions to give
you a better idea of what the event/
publication/seminar is all about.
Each marketing opportunity not only includes an investment
amount, but also the recognition you can expect in return.
Getting the most from your membership also means getting
involved. We invite you to consider joining a committee or
council that will lead you to that pivotal next step of building
relationships and potential leadership positions at the local,
state and national levels. (See page 71 for details.)
The association also afords the chance to help the local
community. For information on GHBAs charitable eforts and
how you can help, see page 56.
We hope that you look to 2012 with as much anticipation
as we do. If you have questions regarding an opportunity
published in this guide, please contact the GHBA team at

Operation Finally Home
Operation Finally Home (formerly called BABA Support Our Troops Inc.) got
its start back in 2005, when a group of custom home builders from the bay
area, the BABA board of directors, and local suppliers teamed up to assist
Lance Corporal Steven Schultz and his family. Schultz returned home from Iraq
severely wounded and unable to walk or care for himself. And with that project,
BABASOTI was born. Since that time, BABASOTI has built seven homes and has
fve more already under in progressat no cost to the familiesfor injured
veterans. These homes are built through volunteer contributions and donations
of labor and supplies from members just like you. Operation Finally Home plans
to continue this project until there is no longer a need.

Benefit Homes Project
It was 31 years ago when the Greater Houston Builders Association board of
directors envisioned a charitable project that would bring the generosity of
GHBA builder, developer and associate members together to give back to the
Houston community. After careful and thoughtful planning, the GHBA formed
the Beneft Homes Project and the mission became: To ensure a brighter
future for the communitys less fortunate, through the heart and hands of the
homebuilding industry. The goal was to do what the GHBA members do best,
to build quality homes that are sold at market value for a proft. The majority of
that proft would be donated to charity.
How does it work? Each year, two builders and two developers team up
to construct two homes. The developers donate the lots and the builders
orchestrate the construction. It could not come together without the building
industry vendors who donate time, labor, and materials. The two homes are
then sold at market value and the majority of the proceeds beneft our three
local charities.
Over the life of this program, the GHBA has donated more than $6 million to local
charities. Currently the Beneft Homes Project distributes the majority of the
proceeds to the Alzheimers Association, Texas Childrens Cancer & Hematology
Center and HomeAid Houston. In 2011 Newmark Homes also gave $30,000 to
the Houston 100 Club from the proceeds of their Beneft Home.
GHBA would like to thank our 2011 Beneft Home team of Newmark Homes
and Caldwell Companies for their beautiful Beneft Home built in Towne Lake.
We would also like to thank David Weekley Homes and The Howard Hughes
Corporation - Bridgeland, LP for teaming up on the second 2011 Beneft Home
in Bridgeland.
Thank you to all the builders, developers and vendors who have worked with
the Beneft Homes Project over the past 31 years for their commitment to the
Houston community. Through their hard work and thoughtful donations more
men, women and children have a better qualityoflife.
HomeAid Houston
Homelessness is not a choice. Its not an identity. It is not a failure
to work. It is a circumstance. And it is ongoing and growing.
HomeAid Houston, a 501(c)3 charity sponsored by the Greater
Houston Builders Association, identifes long term, stable
homeless care providers who need additional capacity and pairs
them with GHBA builders, vendors and suppliers who donate
their time, materials and labor to help build transitional homeless shelters.
Now in its eighth year, HomeAid Houston, along with its Builder Partners and
many vendor donors, has added more than 400 beds to the local community.
Besides member donations, several annual events help raise funds, including
the HomeAid Houston Golf Tournament held in April, and Project Playhouse
in the summer. For more information on how you can get involved, visit
homeaidhouston.org.
Operation FINALLY HOME
Formerly known as BABA Support Our Troops, this project builds homes for
severely wounded U.S. Servicemen.
