About North Bay NARI® Builder's Roundtable
Join Our Mailing List
Email:

Organization: We are an attendee-supported forum, open to everyone in the industry. That means everyone– Architects, General Contractors, Remodelers, Designers, construction-related service providers, and all specialty trade contractors. North Bay NARI® agrees to establish as the area in which our membership draws from as Marin, Sonoma, Solano, and Napa counties. Any person residing in the above four counties has the right to join the membership of the North Bay NARI® Builder's Roundtable.

Purpose: Our purpose is to give you the tools to improve the operation of your business. We do this through ongoing educational seminars, networking, and resources for product information.

Meetings: We are pleased to report that the NARI® Board Members' goal of having our monthly events at different venues has been realized. As of now, we're scheduled at different locations through 2007. For details on specific monthly events and their new locations, please visit our Monthly Meetings page.

If you're interested in attending a meeting, please RSVP by emailing build@northbaynari.org. We will always need a head count at least three days prior to the meeting.

Timeline:
6:00 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. We meet to socialize with other people attending.
6:45: We sit down for dinner, which begins with business and any announcements.
7:00: Start the presentation.
8:15: Questions and answers/dessert and coffee.
8:30: Meeting ends (but you're welcome to stay and mingle as long as you like!)

Topics: Topics and presentations are created by the Board of Directors and assisted by attendees. Any suggested topics are most welcome and will be considered.

Presenters: We encourage industry professionals to share their knowledge with our members and guests. If you'd like to speak at a monthly meeting, please read the following document: Procedures for Speakers
