The Young Professionals
Our Young Professional Committee,
also known as the “Young Guns” is the
largest group in the state and one of the
largest Young Professional groups in the
Country. I want to start by first recognizing
one of our founding members, my brother
Chris Amato, who was a finalist for the first
ever Young Professional of the Year Award
last week at the International Builder Show
in Orlando. We are proud to recognize his hard
work and dedication and to have members
like him representing us at the national level.
In fact another member of our group, Rich
Robinson is now the Vice Chair of the Young
Professional Committee at the National
Association of Home Builders.
The Young Guns committee at Shore
was founded three years ago and from the
beginning it has been our mission to focus
on the local issues affecting our builders and
associates. There are three main projects
that the committee has been focused on
up to this point.
First, We have had two very successful
LOCAL PAC fundraisers at the Asbury
Pinball Museum. The monies raised at those
events stays with the Shore PAC to be used
for local issues and candidates that Shore
Builders chooses to support.
Second, our group will be hosting a panel
discussion on Millennial Home buying with
a focus on new construction. Our goal is to
increase awareness of Shore Builders within the
general public, as well as to provide a forum for
educating millennials on the home buying
process and to answer their questions. This
event will be on April 27th in the evening at
the Jumping Brook County Club in Neptune.
More information on this event will be available
in the near future.
Third, and I believe the most important project
we are working on for the future of builder
membership in the association, is a builder
designation allowing builders members to
distinguish themselves. We seek to create a
program that will recognize these designated
builders and their commitment to education,
investment in the association, and dedication
to ethical practices for our industry and to
benefit from shared marketing and promotion.
This project is long term initiative and we
will have more information on it in the
coming months.
The Young Guns also hosts Happy Hour Events
and informal gatherings on a regular basis to
encourage networking and grow the friendships
we have with fellow members at Shore. We
are looking forward to another great year
as a committee in 2017.
