HBA of Greater Springfield Home Pros Categories

The HBA Home Pros website directory and the HBA Event Magazine Membership Guide are complementary tools used to advertise your membership to other members and to the general public. Members are listed utilizing categories and subcategories. Once your application is approved, the HBA staff will work with you to ensure your listing is included in proper categories so that your business can easily be found through a website and/or magazine search. Once your application and necessary documentation are received by HBA, you will receive an invoice for one year of membership dues and an application fee which will be payable upon receipt.
