We know the current housing crisis has greatly reduced or eliminated travel budgets.

Thanks to our colleagues at the WTCA – Representing the Structural Building Components Industry, LBMI can also offer a secure online survey as an alternative to attending the Forum. We encourage Forum participation as the discourse is enriched by the exchange of opinions. However, if you can’t travel to Kansas City, we would very much appreciate your participation and input.
