 After much consideration, we have selected Glenn Mathewson to be a key part of our team in regards to code representation. As many of you are aware, Glenn has been with us from the beginning and worn too many hats to name, the highlight being the development of an ICC-approved deck code training program for our members. We believe that he brings what we need: the wisdom and historical perspective to see it from all sides, a passion for the industry and a work ethic that makes it worth the spend.
Glenn has outlined a plan for our success that includes attending the upcoming code hearings, submitting proposals on our behalf and being part of the technical dialogue between competing interests that always surround code development. What we need to do now is generate the income needed to support this plan. We have received contributions from Deck builders, manufacturers and suppliers. Please consider contributing to this fund so that we can represent YOU at the upcoming hearings. Click here to sign up!

"After six solid — if not remarkable — years of a housing recovery, and pretty good business times for many of the firms in the BUILDER community, it may seem odd to broach the subject of survival," writes John McManus in his recent essay about Sears' impending bankruptcy. Sears - the Amazon.com of its day - was an early and important player in American housing, selling thousands and thousands of kit homes that it shipped in rail cars all across the country, which created a demand for appliances and furnishings that families also bought from Sears to fill their new homes.

Jon-Mikel Bailey writes: I remember when social media was fresh and new. Everyone was either excited or dismissive, but very few could explain precisely why. It was new. That’s it.
Since then we’ve seen social media become a powerful tool in the digital marketing landscape.
Some still thumb their nose at social media, but, social media marketing is not a waste of time just as much as it isn’t the solution to all your marketing woes.
