The Southern Building Material Association’s 2010 Building Products Buying Show was held February 3-4 in High Point, North Carolina.  The turnout was fantastic.  We probably had the best attendance in years.  Good to see some of the “old” faces again.

Todd Merriss Chairman of the Board and Larry Adams SBMA President cut the ribbon opening the show.  Lunch was sponsored by ECMD with ice cream sandwiches for desert, served at ECMD’s booth.

 

After the ribbon cutting, the Supplier of the Year and the Dealer of the Year were announced.  These awards are chosen from our members submitting nominations. 

The criteria for the selection are:

Community involvement
Involvement in industry related activities
Contribution to SBMA and/or NLBMDA
Overall Business Success and accomplishments

 

The winners are: 

ECMD for Supplier of the Year

Smith-Phillips Building Supply – Dealer of the Year

   

ECMD is SBMA’s Supplier of the Year.  Buford Arning receives the award from Larry Adams

   

Smith-Phillips Building Supply in Winston-Salem, NC  received the award for Dealer of the Year. 

Mickey Boles addresses the crowd after accepting the award.

 

All of the seminars had great attendance.

 

Chuck Casey from Building Products Digest took pictures, too.  They will be in the March issue of the magazine.  See them early: http://www.building-products.smugmug.com/

 

News 14 interview. Here’s the link http://news14.com/charlotte-news-104-content/621508/trade-show-hosts-building-materials-companies

If the link doesn’t work, I just searched for Southern Building Material Association on the News 14 site and the article popped right up.

Nice job!
