April 2015 | ForResidentialPros.com | 15 InSinkErator Honors PWB Members Racine, WI — InSinkErator and the National Association of Home Build- ers' Professional Women in Building Council recognized members at this year's International Builders' Show in Las Vegas for outstanding work with their local councils. The awards cere- mony was held during the 60th annual PWB Spike Club Reception. The PWB Spike Program provides recognition for member recruiters whose efforts throughout the year bring in new members to the Council and its afliates. PWB welcomed new councils in 2014, and membership ranks grew by 10%, making PWB the fastest growing council within NAHB. The Council – which is comprised of professional builders, remodelers, contractors and architects – honors members who exceed annual re- cruitment goals. Members receive scholarships their local council can award to students pursuing careers in the building industry. InSinkErator has served as the exclusive sponsor of the PWB Spike Reception and the scholarships given at this event for more than three decades. "We value our long-standing relationship with the Council and re- main committed to helping support women's progression in this field," said Rob Grim, senior v.p. of sales at InSinkErator. "These inspiring profes- sionals make a commitment every day to help grow tomorrow's leaders." The 2014 PWB Council Chair Carol Morgan presented the Bob Cox Profes- sional Women in Building Spike of the Nation Awards to Carole Jones of the Home Builders Association of South- eastern Michigan PWB, who recruited 15 new members and re-signed 21 current members in 2014.
