Florida Home Builders Association President Greg Matovina, who served as NEFBA president in 2004, attended a Parade of Homes kickoff in west Florida. Also in attendance were the president of the West Florida Association and the chairman of the board of directors of the National Association of Home Builders. The three represent the leadership of the local, state and national homebuilder associations. The 2018 leaders are, from left, FHBA President Matovina; Taylor Longsworth, president of the HBA of West Florida; and Randy Noel, chairman of the board of NAHB. Matovina says the gathering serves as a reminder that NEFBA membership provides its members access to the state and national associations.
