History

historic photo
Peter Arrigoni, 1989

 

In 1958, the North Coast Builders Exchange decided it was time to move on from the civilized life of Marin County, so it moved into the "Wild Frontier" of Sonoma County. The North Coast Board of Directors met and agreed to allow the Marin membership to form its own association.

Since then, the key aspects of the Marin Builders Association have not changed: service to our members, service to our industry, and service to our community.

Today, we have over 600 active members, a 21-member volunteer Board of Directors, a diverse team of six staff members, and a state of the art member facility in San Rafael with meeting rooms, private offices and the Peter Arrigoni Community Room.
