How do you continue to push yourself?
Thomas Touchstone: Our association works for our members and not for ourselves. We’re in a crucial era for this industry right now, and we try to preserve, protect and promote in hopes of seeing thriving homes and families for the future of our country.
What is one project you’re particularly proud of, and why?
TT: We lead an annual program with the Boys and Girls Club to teach students about the entire homebuilding process. We’re constantly growing and adapting for improvement. Our goal is to show them the value of the residential construction industry by bringing in members weekly to tell them about their side of construction. From mortgage lenders to grading companies, we really cover it all. It’s great to see the impact we have on the students.
