Over the next day or so, you will receive an invitation from DRHBA (Stacey/Katelyn) to join Basecamp.  This is an interactive communications software that DRHBA has been using for internal communications between staff, the board of directors and committees for almost a year now.

After you join, you will have access to a message board that will allow you to post questions or information that other members can see and comment on.  You will also be able to privately "Ping" other members to have a one-on-one conversation.  There is a live group chat feature, and a place where documents can be posted/downloaded/shared.

To start, members will be added to groups geared towards their specific membership type, i.e. Builders, Trade Contractors, Suppliers, etc. to allow to communicate with similar type businesses.  Further groups may be created if there is a demand/need.

We hope that this will provide you with a community within the building industry where you can share information, ask questions and learn from other members.  We encourage you to join (it's free), to participate in discussions and to share information that would help others that are facing similar situations/issues.  Together we are stronger and with each other's help, we can get through this.

You can login to Basecamp from your laptop or desktop, or you can download the Basecamp 3 app for your phone or tablet.

It's important to note that the default settings allow you to be notified by email every time there is a new post or comment, so it's recommended that you change your personal settings to prevent being bombarded by emails.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Katelyn (k.widdop@drhba.com) or Stacey (s.hawkins@drhba.com).

As each member must be added individually, it may take a couple of days to get invitations out to all members, so we ask for your patience at this time.
