From Winner to Judge

Craig has been a committee member of HIA for 10 years and ran as chairman for 5 years. During that time Craig was nominated to judge local and national housing awards for 3 years.

Hearing his business announced as a winner on a number of occasions has always been a heart pumping proud moment that Craig enjoyed but when he was ask to be in the judging panel the enjoyment of using knowledge and expertise provided Craig with a sense of accomplishment.

The commitment required a lot of time, energy and interstate travel but “When you give you gain” and this is so true of judging. The experience has left him feeling more connected to the building industry as a whole and with it brought fresh and inspired ideas.
