Current Committees

Get Involved. Build Influence. Increase Your Return.

The Builders Association of North Central Indiana is powered by its members and our committees are where the real work (and real impact) happens.

If you’re looking to maximize the value of your membership, joining a committee is one of the most effective ways to do it.

National association research consistently shows that members who actively participate in committees report significantly higher satisfaction and a greater return on their investment compared to non-involved members. Engagement builds stronger relationships, increases visibility, strengthens influence, and often leads to new business opportunities.

The more you invest your time, the greater your return.

Why Join a Committee?

Whether you’re a long-time member or newly joined, there’s a place for you to plug in.

  • Build meaningful relationships with fellow builders and industry partners
  • Increase your visibility within the association and the community
  • Help shape events, advocacy efforts, and member initiatives
  • Stay ahead of industry trends and local developments
  • Strengthen the voice of the building industry across our three counties
