Message from the Chapters Team
Dear Chapter Officers,
It’s back-to-school season, and we’re in the education mindset! Be sure to check out the newest NKBA Appliance Badge from the Certification/Learning department, and stay tuned for details on Education Appreciation Week, a new NKBA initiative running at the end of this month, September 23-27.
Exciting news with early KBIS 2025 registration kicking off this month. As returning Chapter Officers in 2025, you do not need to register early – you will receive a separate VIP registration link and important travel information from NKBA National.
Your KBIS VIP invitation and information will be emailed to you upon receipt of your Chapter’s 2025 Elections Results form. Presidents and Secretary/Treasurers, please select Chapter Leadership Results (not Chapter Appointment) in the drop-down form. Thank you!
You’re invited to share your expertise with industry professionals through our NKBA | KBIS Design + Business Webinars. Our new season of Design + Business Webinars kicks off in January 2025. Explore the benefits of being a presenter, and click here to submit your webinar proposal by September 30.
Ready to volunteer on a new level? Please consider a role in National Leadership through NKBA | KBIS, including Board of Directors; Chapter Leadership Committee; Leadership Recruitment Committee; or KBIS Exhibitor Committee. Nominations are open now and will be accepted through September 30 at 5 PM EST.
This month, NKBA caps off our anniversary celebrations with 60for60 on Monday, September 16. We look forward to sharing photos from the in-person ride/walk in Bethlehem, PA and from our Chapter members participating in other locations!
Looking ahead to October, we hope to see you at our pop-up activation at High Point Fall Market, October 26-28. Please let us know via email chapters@nkba.org if you are traveling to High Point this year – we would love to see you there!
Here’s to a fabulous fall – we look forward to spending this special season with all of you!
Best,
Kelly
