Awards
The Home Builders Association of Dayton has a long and rich history. Since the Home Builders Association was founded in 1942, the support, dedication and efforts of many individuals and organizations has been essential to the growth and success of the Association. As a small token of appreciation, the Home Builders Association of Dayton acknowledges and awards those companies and individuals each year at its Presidential Inaugural.
