WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING ABOUT US
Membership has been beneficial to my business. As a new restaurant owner it was important to utilize all marketing opportunities to get the Piesanos name out there. Joining has accomplished this in many ways. As one of their event sponsors I showcased my business to many potential new customers. Their marketing opportunities are unique as well as enjoyable to participate in. Being a part of this association is truly worth it to me.
Mike Akey, Piesanos Stone Fired Pizza, Member Since November 2009
Joining the Builders Association of North Central Florida has been a blessing to our business. We made a return on our investment after being a member only for one month. The contacts we have made have taken our business to another level and we highly recommend joining the Builders Association of North Central Florida. Take advantage of the opportunity and get involved.
Reggie Keith, Carpet Systems Plus, Member Since November 2009
Being a part of this organization helps me stay informed and motivates me to make a difference on local government issues that are important to my business. We must stay focused on issues that affect our industry and BANCF helps us do that.
Jim Painter, Painter Masonry & Construction, Member Since May 1988
I am excited to be the first retail business to join the Association. I joined to have a more visible presence in the community and be involved in community outreach efforts. Since I joined I have met some great people and established many business partnerships. I have had many opportunities to network and bring business to some of the different industries involved with the association as well as bring more customer traffic to my store.

BANCF has the most prominent people serving on its Board who invest hundreds of volunteer hours fighting for free enterprise and small business at the local, state and national level helping to prevent government from excessive taxation, impact fees, adjustment fees, school fees, road, fees, etc. The construction industry is the engine that drives the economy. It is the most important money you can spend to help keep our economy recovering and hopefully flourish again.
