What is a Spike?
The NAHB Spike Club is NAHB’s recognition and incentive program for individuals working in membership recruitment and retention. Members earn one new member credit for each new member sponsored, one retention credit for first-year renewals and one-half credit thereafter for each year a recruit renews his or her membership. Based upon credits earned, there is a progressive program of awards including pins, certificates, plaques, sweaters, and blazers.
