MEMBERSHIP MONDAY SPOTLIGHT

🌟 Meet Lori Evans, Marketing Manager for Hillwood Communities, our featured member for #MembershipMonday 🏡 Here's a peek into her journey:

🏠 How she got her start in the industry: Lori first started in the industry working for FirstService Residential as the Lifestyle Director for Pomona, one of Hillwood's master-planned communities, located in Manvel, in 2016. She hosted over 300 events a year during her tenure, and it was always the goal to land a position working directly for Hillwood Communities. Her dreams came true when she secured her current position, Marketing Manager, working directly for Hillwood in 2022.

👷 GHBA: Lori's involvement with the GHBA started two years ago. She got involved when a former GHBA staff member, Mel Audain, recruited her to serve on the GHBA's Sales and Marketing Board of Directors. She is now going on three years as a board member and already has made a lasting impact. For her hard work and dedication, Lori was honored at last year's Houston's Best PRISM Awards as one of two SMC Board Members of the Year.

🤝 Charity Work: Lori dedicates her time to supporting the community beyond the GHBA. She is a volunteer for the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, a commitment she's had in various roles for the last eight, going on nine, years. Recently, Lori began volunteering alongside her two children in the children's ministry at New Hope Church, where she has loved seeing them discover joy, purpose and fulfillment in serving others. Lori has also volunteered as a mentor for Alvin ISD, further dedicating her time to supporting her community.

💖 Passions: When Lori isn’t working or volunteering, Lori loves to workout and travel as often as she can.

🏠 GHBA’s Impact: “Volunteering for the GHBA has been a rewarding experience. It has allowed me to connect with like minded professionals, broaden my industry knowledge and gain valuable insights into the home building community," Lori said. I’ve developed leadership skills, strengthened my network and found inspiration to bring innovative solutions to my work. I look forward to serving for many years to come.” ... See MoreSee Less

🌟 Meet Raul Flores, Pro-Market Manager for The Tile Shop, our featured member for #MembershipMonday 🏡 Here's a peek into his journey:

🏠 How he got his start in the industry: From a young age, Raul began working in the home building industry alongside his father in a small remodeling business. Recognizing the need for quality bilingual sales and customer service, he transitioned into a sales role to bridge that gap for contractors and clients. Over the past 19 years, he has supported professionals across the construction industry by delivering tailored flooring solutions and working in leadership roles with major retailers.

👷 GHBA: Raul has been a GHBA for a little more than two years. He joined the GHBA to gain deeper insights into the industry’s evolving needs and to better support the professionals he works with. Through GHBA, he has expanded his network, connected with industry leaders and gained valuable resources to address the challenges and opportunities shaping the building community.

🤝 Charity Work: In addition to his involvement with the GHBA, Raul actively volunteers with the Texas Gulf Coast chapters of both the National Kitchen & Bath Association as the Hospitality Leader and the American Society of Interior Designers as the Social Media Co-Chair.

💖 Passions: When Raul isn’t working, attending GHBA events or volunteering, Raul is growing a small dumpster rental business. On the weekends, he loves to spend time with his family, grilling and making the most of their time together.

🏠 GHBA’s Impact: “The GHBA has been instrumental in my career, offering me the opportunity to grow my network and build lasting relationships that go beyond business – many of which have turned into great friendships,” Raul said. “Through the GHBA, I've gained invaluable connections and insights that have shaped my professional journey. I’m committed to continuing my support for GHBA and to helping others within the organization whenever I can, sharing the knowledge and support I’ve received along the way.” ... See MoreSee Less
