NFBA offers strength through unity on both regional and national levels. Members have the opportunity to influence the post-frame industry locally and regionally through chapter involvement. They keep updated on the latest technology and design information via the National Association. NFBA activities and programs are guided by an active Board of Directors, which consist of Builder (Active) Members, Chapter Presidents, and members of the Supplier Division Council. The Association operates in accordance with its Constitution, which defines the scope and direction of efforts made on behalf of every member.

1. The NFBA office frequently gets calls from people who are in search of a builder, design professional or supplier. Your membership automatically rewards you with customer referrals and provides a means for professional networking.
2. NFBA’s “Find a Builder,” “Find a Supplier” and “Find a Designer” sections of the NFBA web site (www.nfba.org), are the best Internet marketing opportunity available anywhere – free with membership.  
3. NFBA offers a variety of brochures to help you address customer concerns and sell buildings. Take advantage of NFBA marketing brochures and increase sales.
4. NFBA offers free online access for NFBA members only to a state-of-the-art reference eLibrary, containing building codes, IBC, IRC, NFPA, UBC, SBC, BOCA, ANSI and more. Normally $1,379 annually, all yours free with NFBA membership. Also available via the NFBA web site, FREE online access for NFBA members to standards developed by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE).  The minimum fee per company for online access to the ASAE Online Technical Library is normally $500 or more per year – but it’s yours free with NFBA membership.
5. NFBA advocates for favorable OSHA safety regulations for post-frame builders, and provides safety materials and free safety, legal and technical advice you can use to comply with OSHA regulations and building codes.
6. NFBA has just created a new “Project Spotlight” program. Fill in the Project Spotlight form and submit it with photos of a new project of note, and we’ll write a News Release about it to submit to Frame Building News and other publications you select.
7. NFBA has created a thirty-second TV commercial that you may use to promote your company’s sales. For as little as $300, NFBA will give you your own TV commercial!
8. Keeping standards up-to-date is crucial to code acceptance of post-frame buildings throughout the U.S. Without NFBA’s efforts, post-frame would not be accepted by the IBC and many other applicable codes and standards, and your business would not grow. 
9. NFBA’s official publication, Frame Building News, is the only magazine dedicated specifically to the post-frame industry. Association newsletters NFBA News, Supplier News and E-Updates also keep members up-to-date with info unavailable elsewhere.
10. The Frame Building Expo, March 2-4, 2011, in Indianapolis, Indiana, will feature excellent networking and buying opportunities, plus the best programming available anywhere for post-frame industry professionals.
