Austin, Texas—Shan Jenkins, president of Jenkins Custom Homes is constantly learning from his peers how to build better homes, improve business practices, and increase customer satisfaction.  As a member of the National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) 20 Club program, Jenkins meets regularly with other builders for an open exchange of information and advice.  Jenkins is a member of the “Level Heads”, that most recently met in Cape Coral, Florida, in April of this year and will be meeting in Austin in the Fall.

NAHB’s 20 Club program is a unique networking and education opportunity available exclusively to NAHB members.  Groups of 20 custom builders from similar, non-competing building businesses meet regularly to discuss proven techniques and the latest trends in design, building, and management practices.  The knowledge they gain from each other enables 20 Club members to improve their business operations, increase the quality of the homes they build, and raise their standards of customer service.

The clubs meet several times a year, enabling Jenkins to continue to improve his business over the years with the invaluable information he garners from these builder networking meetings.  In addition to meetings, the group communicates via email so that Jenkins always has a “board of directors” to consult for important business decisions.
