Kicking Off a Powerful Year: LIBI 2025 Membership Drive Launches with Record Participation

The momentum is real — and growing. Last week, The Long Island Builders Institute (LIBI) launched its 2025 Membership Drive with an energy-filled kickoff party that brought together some of the most dedicated professionals in our industry. We’re proud to share that over 70 members have already joined the initiative, making this one of the most robust and promising recruitment drives in recent years.

The kickoff celebration, generously hosted by B2K Development, was more than just a party — it was a clear statement about the strength, unity, and shared purpose of Long Island’s building community.

Why the Membership Drive Matters

As one of the region’s leading trade associations, LIBI plays a critical role in advocating for policies that support responsible development, educating the industry, and building relationships that strengthen our collective impact. The membership drive isn’t just about numbers — it’s about bringing more voices to the table, empowering new leaders, and expanding our reach at a time when the industry needs strong representation more than ever.

“When builders, developers, and tradespeople come together under a common cause, we’re more than an industry — we’re a movement,” says Devin Kulka, CEO of The Kulka Group. “The kickoff was a reminder of how strong this community is and how much we can accomplish when we work together.”

A Big Thank You to the Hosts and Teams

We want to extend a huge thank you to B2K Development for opening their doors and hosting such a dynamic and welcoming event. Their support helped set the tone for what we expect to be an exciting and impactful year.

And to all the LIBI members who joined a recruitment team — your participation matters. Whether you’ve been with LIBI for 20 years or 20 days, your enthusiasm and dedication are the driving force behind this effort.

The Road Ahead

The 2025 Membership Drive is just getting started, and there’s plenty of opportunity for others to get involved. With more than 70 recruiters already in motion, we’re well on our way to growing LIBI’s voice and ensuring our industry continues to have the representation and support it deserves.

If you're not yet a member — or if you know someone who should be — now is the time to get connected. Join a team, attend an event, and become part of something that’s shaping the future of development on Long Island.

At The Kulka Group, we’re proud to stand with LIBI in this effort, and we’re looking forward to seeing what this incredible community will achieve in 2025 and beyond.
