Your Mission is Ours
The Indiana Lumber & Builders’ Supply Association exists to improve the independent dealers’ and suppliers’

Knowledge Central
At its core, Knowledge Central is an online training, testing and performance tracking system. But it is more
than that. It is a human resources, business and risk management tool. The system includes dozens of
forms, manuals, handbooks and guides. Nearly 200 training modules cover a wide range of regulatory com-
pliance as well as job-specific training. It is a document management system, an employee communications
tool, a Safety Data Sheet (HazCom) cataloging and retrieval system. It’s customized to you, and replaces
your training, compliance, and associated record-keeping – all in one place. And only members can get it.
Government Relations
ILBSA is a full-time advocate and government relations expert who continues to monitor legislation that
directly impacts your business...protecting you and your business each and every day.

Networking
Membership provides a medium of exchange with others having the same business
interests and concerns, which allows members to share ways to build a successful business.
Online Membership Directory
Keep on top of who’s who, and where to go for products, services, and
information in the statewide membership directory with a network of members.
Industry Knowledge...NOW
Through weekly email communications, members have instant access to

ILBSA’s exclusive Insurance Program
ILBSA’s exclusive in-house insurance brokerage, Association Insurance Programs, brings you customized,
affordable insurance packages, from property-casualty to workers comp, and even individual programs.
The dividends you may earn can pay for your membership...and then some! Created by dealers, so it’s
not carrier-driven or brokerage-driven…but DEALER-driven by INDIANA dealers.
Social Events & Gatherings
Annual Meeting, Sycamore Scramble Golf Outing, and “Power Lunch” instructional gatherings are just a
few examples of FUN and worthwhile networking events.
MEMBERSHIP CATEGORIES
ILBSA does not have “primary” and “secondary” members, as we believe no one member is more ”special”
than another. Rather, everyone who joins and participates in the Association’s programs and services is
a member of the “ILBSA Family”, with equal rights, privileges, and prerogatives. We merely differentiate
between “retail dealers” and “associate” providers, so fellow members can quickly identify the type of
business that member represents.
Ready for Membership?
Retail members include lumber
yards, home centers, and other business
entities selling retail building materials to
builders, the general public, or both. ILBSA’s
retailers include traditional “yards”, home
centers, hardware stores, and components
providers.
Associate members are those who
have an interest in the building material industry,
such as manufacturers, wholesalers, and distribu-
tors, and who do not sell directly to builders or the
general public. Our associate membership also
includes law firms, computer/software providers,
educators...almost ANYONE interested in ILBSA’s
members or the industry, and wishes to provide
their products and services to fellow members.
