Premier Club members distinguish themselves as the Frederick County Builders Association's most important benefactors. The FCBA established the Premier Club to expand the resource base of the association and thereby enable it to better respond to the growing demands of a rapidly changing building and business environment.
Since 1959, when a small but far-sighted group of builders came together to form an organization to represent the housing industry, FCBA has grown in size as well as in the stature it holds in the business community.
During this same period, the challenges confronting our industry have also increased in number and become more formidable. As a small trade association of approximately 300 members, the wide range of issues FCBA must address, while providing useful services to meet the business needs of its members, puts a strain on its relatively limited resources.
Premier Club members make it possible for FCBA to continue improving its member services and strengthening its clout as an advocate for housing and the construction industry.
