Brainerd Glass, Inc. has been an active member of MMBA since 2004.  During this time, our staff has attended and volunteered for many events such as golf tournaments, Tools for Schools, the Home & Outdoor Show, and Sporting Clay Shoot to name a few.  Our members make us a strong organization.  We believe in the integrity of the building industry.  

MMBA's monthly newsletter has been a huge asset for us and our customers.  The newsletter resides on top of our reception area which provides the opportunity to discover all MMBA has to offer the Brainerd Lakes Area.

There is no better time to become a member than now.  A struggling economy requires an active, rather than passive, response.  Expand contacts and learn new methods and techniques through networking to improve in all areas of business. It is a bargain to become a member of local, state and national organizations and receive all their benefits for such a small fee.

Initially, the main motivation to join the association was to gain exposure and to network with local peers. However, MMBA membership has already proven to be a great resource for so much more than that. Continuing education opportunities, updates on industry legislation and creative inspiration are just some of the additional benefits that our company has gained in the short time since we have joined.

Being members of and involved in MMBA was a huge asset to our young business. The past 28 years of membership have been a great source of education and support, not only from their administrative resources, but also through the network of both its Builder &   Associate members.

MMBA has proved to be one of the most enlightened and progressive associations. It’s focus on the involvement of government, business, and academic partners is increasingly relevant.  In this industry, it can be a great challenge to stay on top of current trends and issues.  MMBA provides up-to-date information and education, in order to facilitate strategic planning and effective leadership.  I recently became an active member of the MMBA Board of Directors where I am excited to band together with MMBA to become involved in government affairs through the association advocacy efforts, new codes and legislation.  MMBA is the local voice for the Building Industry and I am excited to actively participate in their efforts!  
 
Start to Finish Builders and Remodelers finds such value in MMBA membership, which offers an endless amount of educational resources, including continuing education classes for all members per state requirements.  The networking and social opportunities afforded through MMBA membership have been of immeasurable value, and we continue to participate every year at the Home & Outdoor Show, Spring and Fall Home Tours, and many other MMBA events.  This organization offers a great venue to share expertise, to celebrate accomplishments, provide support, but - most importantly - to network and build relationships.
