ProDealer of the Year: The tradition continues
HBSDealer has proudly recognized high-performing lumberyards since the late 20th century, creating a roll-call of past honorees that have shown growth, leadership and the values of the building supply industry.
The tradition continues in 2022, and HBSDealer and our partners at the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association request the help of all industry stakeholders as we identify our ProDealers of the Year for 2022.
Deadline for nominations is Dec. 1. The official online nomination form is here.
The criteria remains the same for both our national ProDealer of the year (six or more units), and our Independent ProDealer of the Year (five of fewer units).

• High performance. Including sales growth, expansion, introduction of successful lines of business;
• Commitment to best practices. General organizational excellence, putting people first and developing a strong reputation in the markets they serve;
• Values of the industry. Customer service, community service and willingness to play the role of ambassador for the hardware and building supply industry.
The ProDealer of the Award presentation will take place during the 2022 ProDealer Industry Summit in Washington, D.C., March 29-April 2.
There’s no shortage of high performance and community centricity in the hardware and building supply industry. If you know a company that fits the bill – even if it’s your own – the editors of HBSDealer would appreciate your input.
The reigning honorees represent all those values and more. McCray Lumber & Millwork of Edwardsville, Kan.; and Dakota County Lumber of Minnesota shared their thoughts on business and service during the 2021 ProDealer Industry Summit.
In 2020, National Lumber, based in Massachusetts, and Townsend Building Supply of Dothan, Ala., joined the exclusive club.
In a statement that reflects the spirit of the awards program, Margie Kaitz Seligman, co-CEO of National Lumber, said: "We're proud to carry on the family tradition of working hard and caring deeply about our family, our employees, our vendors, and our customers."
Nominating a lumberyard company for recognition in the ProDealer of the Year award program is easy. The nomination form is here.
