Why the HBA Matters w/ Chelsea Taylor - Building The Ozarks Ep.2

Wyatt sits down with HBA member relations specialist Chelsea Taylor to unpack what the Home Builders Association of Greater Springfield really is—and why it’s so much more than just paying dues once a year. From her journey through higher education and mortgage lending into the HBA office, Chelsea shares how her role as a “connector” helps members actually use their benefits, build real relationships, and plug into events like the Home Show and Parade of Homes. They talk about common misconceptions (“I’m not a builder,” “it’s not the right time”), the hidden perks of membership, and why authentic community and advocacy matter for both local pros and homeowners in the Ozarks. Whether you’re a contractor, vendor, Realtor, or just construction-curious, this episode is a practical, behind-the-scenes look at the value of being part of the HBA.#BuildingTheOzarks #SpringfieldMO #OzarksRealEstate #HBASpringfield #HomeBuildersAssociation #HomeBuilding #TradesInTheOzarks #ParadeOfHomes #HomeShow #RealEstatePodcast #ConstructionCommunity #SmallBusinessSpringfield #BuildLocal
