New Three-Year Cycle for Home Show Points is Underway!

The Home Show point system was implemented by the HBA board of directors in 2006 as a way to:

1) periodically refresh the look and layout of the HBA’s national award winning annual Home Show; and

2) to reward HBA members who are actively involved and engaged in their membership with the HBA.

Home Show points (which are used to determine order of booth space selection for the Home Show) are now accrued during a three year period.  Every three years, these points return to zero and another accrual period begins. The current period of accrual started March 1, 2012 and goes through February 28, 2015.

Periodically, updated Home Show points standings will be published on SpringfieldHBA.com and in the HBA’s Housing News Weekly E-newsletter. For the final listing of the previous points accrual period (rankings used to determine order of home show booth selection for the 2012 show), click here (four-page pdf).

For the most recent Home Show point totals for the current accrual period (will be accrued through February 28, 2015, and used to determine order of Home Show booth selection for the 2016 show), click here (coming soon).
