Thank you to our website sponsors
The newly-renovated Builders Exchange board room, as well as the education room, are available exclusively for BX members to utilize at no charge! The board room and the restroom facilities were modernized and expanded this year.
The Exchange training facilities are available for BX member companies to book at no additional rental cost during office hours, with minimal cost after hours.
Here are a few things to know about reserving space at the BX:
The first step to book a reservation is to contact Beth Reed with the dates requested. If the space is available, you will receive a contract to complete.
The newly-renovated board room can be set up multiple ways to accommodate up to 16 people.
Warm holiday wishes to you and your team.
Thank you for being a valued part of the BX family.
The Builders Exchange will be closed Dec. 24 - 26.

Substance Use Prevention and Recovery (SUPR), formerly known as the Drug-Free Safety Program (DFSP), is the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) voluntary safety program developed to address workplace use and misuse of alcohol and other drugs.
The Builders Exchange of Central Ohio is a BWC-approved provider of SUPR employee education and supervisor training sessions, and these courses meet the annual training requirements.
The employee education course builds understanding of the written SUPR policy and explains the safety, security and health risks—as well as productivity impacts—associated with alcohol and drug use in the workplace. Supervisor training focuses on detecting, confronting, documenting and referrals for potential drug use or abuse.
Ensure your entire team understands their part in keeping your jobsites substance-free.
