Associates Council

The HBA of Greater New Orleans Associates Council helps to helps to connect builders with businesses in associated trades. The Council is comprised of associate members from across the spectrum of New Orleans-area businesses - if it goes into a house, an HBA Associate member can help you with it!

Associate Council members work in closely related fields that supply building products and services such as interior design, insurance and mortgage loans to home builders and remodelers. Visibility is increased through volunteering, event sponsorships and advertising opportunities in the Home Builder, the official newsletter of the HBA of Greater New Orleans.

Additionally, associate members are able to enhance their professional credibility by becoming a Certified Graduate Associate (CGA). This Associate-member specific professional designation provides the opportunity to collaborate with builders and remodelers, as you take classes and learn about the industry together.
