Friendswood Development Company offers communities spanning from the north to the south areas of Houston, with prices ranging from the low $120,000s to more than $1 million.
Friendswood has partnered with the GHBA Benefit Homes Project many times, starting as early as in the mid 1980s. Their lot donations represent many thousands of dollars toward helping those less fortunate.
“We’re proud to be a part of this important project that enables us to give back to the community,” said Tim Fitzpatrick, community development manager for Friendswood Development Co. “We appreciate all of the hard work and effort by all of the donors and volunteers who bring the Benefit Homes Project together.”
Do You Know SAM? SAM stands out from the crowd. SAM is a leader. SAM
doesn't jump on the bandwagon; SAM is driving it! People know they can rely on SAM, because SAM gets things done.
GHBA would like to recognize our extraordinary associate members. We call them SAM—or our Sustaining Associate Members. Associates make up about two-thirds of the GHBA membership roster, and through extra financial commitments from sponsorships, they finance a large portion of the advocacy and ongoing work on behalf of the housing industry.
GHBA will release its 2011 Marketing Guide in September. All types of sponsorship opportunities are listed in the guide, so use it to plan your annual participation. Any associate member whose financial contributions through sponsorships, advertising in the magazine or
online reach $10,000 or more during the year will become a Platinum Sustaining Associate Member. Associates whose contributions reach $5,000 will become Gold Sustaining Members.
For clarification, items not included in SAM calculations are: payments for dues, events, directory advertising, speed selling, HOME- PAC, and any other regular fees or services such as booth space. If you are not sure about what's included, please call us at 281.970.8970.
Be on the lookout for the SAM ribbons at association events, and take a minute to say 'thank you' to our superstar associates.
