Nation's Best Holdings, LLC

We’re thrilled to announce the success of our 2nd annual Women’s Leadership Retreat, a transformative event dedicated to nurturing and advancing female leadership in the lumber and building materials (LBM) industry. This year’s retreat saw a 50% increase in attendance, welcoming not only store managers but also assistant managers—underscoring our commitment to developing leaders at all levels. Held at the beautiful Lucky Arrow Retreat in Dripping Springs, TX, the event focused on leadership development, personal wellness, and providing participants with the tools for professional success and personal fulfillment. It also fostered deeper connections across the LBM industry. With women holding 35% of store management and 33% of executive roles, we remain a leader in promoting gender diversity in LBM. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing sponsors—Specialty Building Products, Allura, Milwaukee, PLM Insurance, Simpson Strong-Tie, Rustoleum, Great Southern, Lockton, and Jeld-Wen—for their support, participation, and shared dedication to growing the female leadership pipeline across the industry.

Today, we pause to honor the memory of the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and pay tribute to the first responders, service members, and ordinary citizens who demonstrated incredible bravery and resilience in the face of unimaginable tragedy. At Nation's Best we are reminded of the strength, unity, and compassion that emerged from that day. As a community, we continue to stand together in support of those affected by the events of 9/11 and vow to never forget the impact it has had on our nation. Let us take a moment to reflect on the importance of kindness, togetherness, and the enduring spirit that defines who we are as a people. #NeverForget #911Remembrance #UnitedWeStand
