History

In 1981, a small group of interested contractors met to form an association know as the Greater Ozarks Chapter of the National Metal Building Dealers Association. In 1985, our association voted to change our status to an independent local association and drop our affiliation with National. At the same time, the name of the association was changed to Greater Ozarks Building Systems Association. This change enabled our association to attract a greater number of new members at a greatly reduced membership fee.
