ILBSA’s MEMBER VALUE PROPOSITION
Last updated: 1/05/11
The ONLY association representing pro
dealers and suppliers in Indiana
The Indiana Lumber & Builders’
Supply Association provides a wide range of member features and benefits
designed to help you and your business, customers, and employees. Some
members are greatly interested in government relations and ILBSA’s
first-class lobbying and advocacy programming. Others enjoy the real-time
weekly industry news pieces via email. Still others enjoy networking and
advertising opportunities. Either way, your association is here to make your
business day just a little bit easier, providing strength as a cohesive
group that is more powerful than individual members alone.
Here is a quick
look at why ILBSA membership is vital to you and your business:
|
|
 | ALCOHOL & DRUG TESTING CONSORTIUM—Helping
you comply with DOT regulations for your CDL drivers and other
safety-sensitive employees, ILBSA’s program is cost-effective and
convenient. Our partner, Indiana Testing, will come to your place of
business, eliminating “down-time” for your employees, for random
drug/alcohol testing, pre-employment screening, post-accident testing,
and DOT-required random testing. Pre-employment screening tests provided
to subscribers, as well as Supervisor training!
|
| ILBSA ONLNE MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY—Only members
have access to the popular membership directory, full of contact
information for associates, retail members, government agencies,
legislators, and other information you use on a regular basis. This
statewide membership directory keeps you on top of who’s who, and where
to go for products, services, and information.
|
| COMPREHENSIVE BUSINESS TOOLS—designed to save
you time, money, and headaches. Whether you need proven collection
letter samples, workplace policies, even contracts and other business
documents, ILBSA’s extensive archives of tools, templates, and forms
make your Association the “one-stop shop” for these business needs—from
banking and finance to employee hiring...even tax forms. No need to call
consulting firms or numerous government offices...call on ILBSA for
real-time assistance. If you need ILBSA leaders to come visit you and
your staff personally, we’ll come to you! Just call on your Association,
and we’ll be there for you...right now.

scholarship awards, helping members’ families offset the rising costs of
