Membership has it's priviledges
Biennial Meeting
The MidStates Annual Meeting is the largest industry event in your region, bringing together hearth, patio and barbecue professionals for two days of networking, and information-packed seminars. Participate in sessions important to owners of any kind of businesses such as employee retention, money management or public relations.
In addition, sessions pertain strictly to the industry such as troubleshooting the latest hearth technology, new patio designs or breaking through in the barbecue industry.
EXPO Affiliate Event
MidStates HPBA gives those who attend the HPBA EXPO an opportunity to meet and greet professionals in the MidStates region through a networking luncheon.
MSHPBA Newsletter, Broadcast Faxes, Email Updates
Stay up-to-date with the latest information on the ever-changing hearth, patio and barbecue industry. With newsletters, broadcast faxes, and email updates, MidStates HPBA gives members the opportunity to stay ahead of the competition.
Codes & Regulation "Watch Dog" Committee
The MidStates HPBA Codes Committee, along with the help of RegAlert and LegAlert, will help monitor legislation passes in the MidStates HPBA affiliate that could negatively affect your business. You cannot afford to be without membership in the MSHPBA.
NFI Certification
Unable to make the certification exam at EXPO? Is it too costly to send all of your installing distributors to EXPO for certification? MidStates HPBA realizes that the demands of your business and the cost of travel are important factors to you. That is why we offer the certification course and exam locally. Each year MidStates HPBA holds NFI certification courses in our region, allowing those who are to busy at EXPO or who wish to certify new or multiple installers, the opportunity to certify later in the year and at a reduced rate to our members.
