Growth: How Members Drive Growth
Reid Sellgren, CR, 2026 President | NARI Minnesota
NARI of MN is Connection
We help you connect and build relationships. Members of our chapter champion the remodeling industry. We do this through belonging, sharing, supporting, and helping one another grow. The chapter helps members via education, credentialing, networking, and exposure to innovative trends and techniques. Just last month we held our 3rd annual Education Day. Seven presenters on seven topics of importance to a remodelers business – tax planning, helical piles, mental health wellness, and more. Here are some comments,
- This was probably the MOST enjoyable AND educational GC CEU day that I've had in 25 Yrs. The Presenters were extremely knowledgeable & answered the attendees important questions.
- My first education day, and I felt it was a hit.
- Well organized event with darn good snacking! Thanks for all the work that’s put into the event and for all involved.
- Very informative training, appreciated all the different topics.
Last year we had 13 individuals from 11 member companies receive their NARI certification – the certification for the remodeling industry. We have new Certified Project Managers, Remodeling Designers, Universal Design Professionals, and a Lead Carpenter. Congrats to them all.
Relationship building is the glue – this year we have a full accompaniment of opportunities for members to network and strengthen their bond. February 10th is our Whirlyball – be sure and sign up soon!
Via our e-news we share the latest news on what is happening in the industry.
Your turn – join a roundtable (contact the office to find out how), tell others about our chapter and invite them to join, attend our events/meetings.
We are holding our annual Membership Drive now until March 19th. New members (or those who have not been a member in the last 5 years) will have their membership application waived.
Share the news – it’s Membership Drive month for NARI of MN!
