Spike Club Membership

When you recruit and retain members on behalf of the Federation, you are not only giving back to the industry, you will also be recognized and rewarded through NAHB's Spike Club.

What’s in it for me?

As you continue to recruit and retain additional members, you accrue more Spike credits and achieve different levels of recognition. In addition to NAHB’s Spike Club recognition, your HBA may provide additional incentives and recognition for your Spike status.

Builders’ Show Closing Concert

Each year, Spikes who have recruited at least one new builder and/or associate member receive two complimentary tickets to the Closing Spike Concert at the International Builders’ Show (IBS). In addition, Spikes who have recruited at least five new builder and/or associate members receive an invitation to the Spike VIP section at the concert. View official rules.

Within the VIP section, Spikes enjoy complimentary food and drinks for the duration of the show. IBS brings together building industry professionals from around the globe, and the Closing Spike Concert is a great way to celebrate at the end of the week.

How to Become a Spike

To become a Spike, you must earn at least six credits. The best way to earn credits is to recruit a new member to the Federation. You can also earn credits for renewals and recruiting new NAHB Council members. You can earn:

• 1 credit for each new builder or associate member you recruit
• 1 credit on the first anniversary of each new member you recruited
• ½ of a credit for each anniversary that follows for each of those members
• ½ of a credit for recruiting council members to their local association

Once you accrue 6 Spike credits, you officially become a Spike and a member of the Spike Club — a network of Spikes across the nation focused on the growth their associations. As you continue to accumulate credits, your status rises within the Spike Club.

Contact your local association for more information about how to get started.
