We hope the evening was absolutely magical. ✨

Networking with purpose among the trees 🌿✨
NextGen and CDBIA PWB Professional Women in Building spent an incredible evening at the Peace River Botanical Gardens & Sculptures, enjoying delicious food, great conversations, and a wonderful tour from Roni that brought the gardens to life.

We learned so much from Adam with Peace River Botanical & Sculpture Gardens about Title One proceeds and how the Gardens are able to offer dedication and experiences to students at zero cost through generous donations and community support from tonight. Even better—a generous patronage will be matching the amount we donated tonight through proceeds from the shop, doubling the impact for the kids!

Thank you to everyone who came out, connected, and contributed to such a meaningful night. And a huge thank you to our sponsors, Greenscape Innovations and Calista Kitchen & Bath, for helping make this event not only possible but purposeful. Here’s to community, giving back, and growing together.

The evolution of the Florida Building Code

Florida has one of the most rigorous building codes in the nation, but it wasn’t always this way. In this webinar, we’ll explore the history of Florida’s construction standards, how they’ve developed over time, and the lasting impact these changes have had on the industry. Learn what these codes look like today and why understanding their history is essential for every builder and contractor working in our state.

Join the Florida Home Builders Association YP on November 12th at 2pm EST to learn more about why we build the way we build in Florida.
