𝟑𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧’𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐮𝐩 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧.

In the lumber and building materials industry, that number is significantly higher than the norm.

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 is this Sunday, but we are taking a moment today to recognize the women who lead, build, and strengthen Nation’s Best every day.

The lumber and building materials industry has historically been one of the most male dominated sectors in the workforce. But the future of this industry will be shaped by the best leaders, not by outdated expectations of who those leaders should be.

Across Nation’s Best, women are leading stores, building high performing teams, driving results, and helping shape the future of our company.

Progress in this industry will come from companies willing to create real opportunities for talented people to lead. We are proud to be part of that progress.

On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the women across Nation’s Best whose leadership makes our company stronger every day.

If you work with a woman who makes your team better, take a moment today to recognize her.

Last week, we had the honor of celebrating two extraordinary Nation’s Best leaders at the HBSDealer Top Women Awards in Chicago — and they absolutely owned the night.

🌟 Tina Green, Regional Vice President — Business Excellence
Tina brings a level of leadership and drive that lifts every team she touches. Her recognition in Business Excellence is no surprise to anyone who has seen her lead from the front with resilience, clarity, and heart.

🌟Madison Ptomey, HR Business Partner — Rising Star
Madison is a force — sharp, strategic, and fearless in the way she moves initiatives forward. Her Rising Star award reflects the trajectory she’s already on: bold leadership, rapid impact, and a future that’s only getting brighter.

Seeing Tina and Madison celebrated among top women across our industry was a moment of pride — not just for them, but for everyone who has had the privilege of working alongside them. They are a reminder of the talent, dedication and leadership we're lucky to have on our NB team.

Tina and Madison, congratulations again. You set the pace. You elevate the standard. Here’s to the work ahead — and the wins still to come.

🎓 Congratulations to Our 2025 RMCP Graduates!

We’re proud to celebrate Brittany Stanley (Store Manager - East Texas Hardware) and Luke Rogers (Store Manager - Bridgeport Building Center) for completing the North American Hardware and Paint Association - NHPA's Retail Management Certification Program (RMCP) — an intensive, months-long leadership development experience for rising retail leaders.

The RMCP program combines academic rigor with real-world application, equipping participants with tools to drive sales, strengthen teams, and lead through change.

Luke and Brittany both represented Nation’s Best with excellence, tackling hands-on business improvement projects and sharing insights that will continue to elevate their stores and teams.

Luke summed it up best:

“You get to learn and hone your skills to be a better leader—and the whole time you’re here, you’re just getting filled with knowledge.”

We couldn’t be prouder of their commitment to learning and leadership. Congratulations to our newest RMCP graduates! 👏
