​Mission Statement & Core Values

Over the last 48 years, the Home Builders Association of the Grand Traverse Area (HBAGTA) has believed in advocating, educating and giving back to our community through activities and events – large and small. We are a membership association dedicated to helping our members grow and prosper while being a local resource for homeowners to find quality services and reliable contractors. Our belief is that we are working to connect builders, associates and homeowners for a shared greater good for the community.

Our Mission

• To be a high quality resource for building industry professionals, who provide outstanding service to our community.

Our Core Values

• Integrity – At HBA we recognize the importance of being honest and having strong moral principles. As a driving force of our organization, we believe that each member must make a personal choice to uphold oneself to consistent moral and ethical standards.
• Education – We know a well-educated membership is the cornerstone of the home building industry. We believe that the HBA has the possibility and opportunity to facilitate learning for every member and that every member has the obligation to acquire new knowledge, skills, values, and habits to support the communities perception of our industry.
• Credibility – We believe it is the obligation of each HBA member to actively participate in maintaining, and increasing, our community’s trust and worthiness in all home builders industries.
