New Association Management Platform: NOVI Systems Our association is evolving to better serve you. We’ ve partnered with NOVI Systems, a cuttingedge platform that will streamline administrative functions and enhance your membership experience. This transition will empower you to manage your membership profile, access resources, and engage with the association more effectively. Expect additional details in the coming weeks as we integrate with NOVI. I’ m thrilled about this step toward a more connected and efficient future for our association.
Advocating for You in the 89th Texas Legislative Session The Texas Association of Builders is actively engaged in the 89th Texas Legislative Session, which began in January 2025. Our team is working tirelessly to protect the gains achieved in the 88th session and oppose numerous proposed bills that could hinder builders and developers. As Texas attracts new residents from more regulated states, the political landscape is shifting, requiring increased vigilance to preserve our industry’ s interests. I’ ve testified at the Capitol on your behalf, often in challenging settings, and I’ m reminded of the importance of strong advocacy and strategic alliances.
Our members’ contributions, whether testifying, volunteering, or contacting legislators— are invaluable. Your efforts reinforce that housing is our mission and make membership meaningful. On behalf of the association, thank you for your dedication. To continue this critical work, I encourage you to stay engaged and reach out with any questions or ideas for advocacy. Together, we’ re building a stronger future for Texas housing. Thank you for your continued support.
