We want you!
Eagle Roofing said “yes” and is excited about the results.
Well established in South Florida, Eagle Roofing decided to move north to the First Coast last summer. Eagle Roofing Products is a division of Burlingame Industries, a California-based privately held, family-owned organization that has been in the tile industry for more than 40 years.
Eagle began operations in the fall of 1989 with one high-pressure concrete tile extrusion machine. Today, Eagle’s Rialto, Calif., facility is the largest in North America.
Meghan Besore, a graduate of Florida State University’s design school, started as a design coordinator for the firm.
Her enthusiasm and knowledge of the product earned her a promotion to account representative, and she moved into the new territory last July.
John Molyneaux of Emerald Homes was one of her first contacts.
“John told me about NEFBA and about the benefits of joining,” Besore said. “I attended my first meeting and was excited about the people, the goals and the networking opportunities. It was more like a big family than a trade association. It was what I was looking for to get a jump start in this new market.”
A relatively new member, Besore quickly understood the importance of being an active member.
“If your goal is to have an audience with builders, subcontractors and suppliers, this is the place to be,” she said. “I attend as many meetings as possible, including the county council meetings. We also participate by sponsoring events. We want our name as visible as possible.”
Besore said the membership fee is a great value.
“You become a member of NEFBA, Florida Home Builders Association and the National Association of Home Builders,” she said. “And you have access to the area and special interest councils for one-on-one contact that is so important.”
To become a member of NEFBA and begin reaping the same benefits, contact Hans Krieg at (904) 725-4355 or [email protected].
