Message from the Chapters Team

Dear Chapter Officers,

What a week! Once again, thank you for joining us in Las Vegas for KBIS! It is our honor to host our Chapter Officers at KBIS every year – our time together for celebrating, educating, and elevating ourselves and one another is always the highlight of our year. 

In the coming weeks, we’ll promote all the scoop from the show, including the big news and all the details on the exclusive Certification Grant Program from Fabuwood, our Chapter Officers Leader 2 Leader Platinum Sponsor. 

We’re also extending our KBIS Certification rate specials through March 31. Take advantage of KBIS pricing on $99 Speciality Badges and a $200 discount on CKBD registrations. Reach out to us at certification@nkba.org to sign up!

It’s back to Chapter business month as all forms and applications are due March 31. Let us know if you have any questions on the mandatory Compliance Form and Year-End Financial Report, plus optional Initiative Grant Application.

We’re in awe and appreciation for our NKBA Chapters which are featured in the current issue of KBB magazine. Cheers to Manhattan, Texas North Plains, Southern Ohio/Kentucky, Ottawa, and Virginia State. Read the article here. Thank you for all the great work that our Chapters do throughout the year! 

As always, we want to hear from you – let us know what you’re most interested in learning from our monthly Zoom calls, this Chapter Officer Update newsletter, any new Chapter Presentation Program speakers and/or topics ideas, and anything you’ve ever wanted to know about Certification. Let us know your thoughts – chapters@nkba.org. We are here to assist and support you as you reach and exceed your goals for 2025 and beyond!

Best,

Kelly
