NAHB Statement on Agreement to Move Major Housing Legislation Bill Owens, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders and a home builder and remodeler from Worthington, Ohio, issued the following statement on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.
ORBA would like to recognize and celebrate Chad Dean, an ORBA Board Member, Past President, local builder, and a strong advocate for our association and industry.
Chad currently serves as HBAT Southeastern Area Vice President and continues to show up for ORBA, HBAT, and NAHB in a big way. He attends our local events, state meetings, and national meetings, including a recent trip to Washington, D.C. last week. He does this on his own time and often at his own expense because he believes in supporting the building industry and representing our area well.
Chad is always professional, involved, and willing to help where needed. He works hard for the association and continues to represent both ORBA and the State of Tennessee with class and dedication.
Outside of his work in the building industry, Chad is also a runner and competes in many races, showing that same commitment and drive in everything he does.
Thank you, Chad, for all you do for ORBA, HBAT, NAHB, and our local building community. Your leadership and dedication do not go unnoticed!

We had a great turnout today at the Ocoee Region Builders Association membership meeting, sponsored by Independent Insulation LLC!
State Representative Dan Howell stopped by to give our members an update on upcoming legislation for next year. Commissioner Milan Blake, Register of Deeds-Elect Missy Mathews, and Bradley County Court Clerk Gayla Miller were also in attendance.
We appreciate our elected officials taking the time to stay engaged with the building industry, affordable housing, and the ways legislation can impact homeownership in our community.
ORBA Education Chair John Proffitt and President Howard Millsaps also presented our fourth David Stauffer Memorial Scholarship to Jacob Blackwell. Congratulations, Jacob!
Thank you to everyone who attended. We had a huge crowd today at Southern Charm Venue, and we also want to give a special shoutout to Scott and Walker McGowan with Old Fort Restaurant for catering a great taco bar!
If you missed today’s meeting, you missed a great networking opportunity.
