‘Tis the season to be jolly and members of the Building Industry Association celebrated the joys of the season on December 12 at the Annual Holiday Party at the Downtown Hyatt.

The evening’s festivities began with cocktails, followed by a plated dinner, decadent dessert and a coffee bar. Part of the program for the evening also included the induction of the 2015 Board of Directors and the swearing in of incoming BIA President, Pat Durham, Pat Durham Builder, Inc. After a full year of service, Perry Lyons handed over the reins of President and began the transition into his new role as Immediate Past President and a member of the Executive Board. Perry will also Chair a new committee in the upcoming year to promote trade school education in local schools. He will also Chair the Codes and Standards Committee for the Home Builders Association of Kentucky (HBAK).

Perry has enjoyed serving in this role and believes it was a successful year, full of many challenges and achievements.

“It was a very successful year and we accomplished a lot,” Perry said of 2014 as he handed over the BIA reins to incoming President Pat Durham.

The BIA is currently gearing up for the first event of the new year, the Home Product Expo coming January 17 & 18 to the Paroquet Springs Conference Centre in Shepherdsville, followed by the Home, Garden and Remodeling Show in February.
