However, America was built on values of reciprocity and collaboration not narcissism as Theodore Roosevelt pointed out when he said, “Every man owes part of his time and money to the business or industry to which he engages.  No man has a moral right to withhold his support from an organization that is striving to improve conditions within his sphere.”

 Here at Signature Building Systems we happily embrace our intrinsic duty to reinforce our industry. We encourage all of our employees to share their personal values and participate in industry events to support our trade. Recently, Vic DePhillips, President & CEO, and Charlie Kasko, VP of Business Development, traveled to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The NAHB is a trade association representing more than 200,000 members involved all aspects of the construction and housing industry. Known as “the voice of the housing industry,” NAHB is affiliated with more than 800 state and local home builders associations around the country. The NAHB also organizes trade shows, the most impressive being the IBS. The IBS is the largest annual building industry tradeshow in the country. Each year builders migrate to the IBS to participate in workshops, network with peers, listen to speakers, and gain invaluable information that they can pass onto others to enrich their hometown industry. IBS offers more than 175 education sessions taught by industry experts.  

 While at the IBS Vic and Charlie received notable industry honors.
