Hyannis, MA— 12/17/25— The Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Cape Cod (HBRACC) held its 2025 Annual Meeting on December 16th, marking a year of organizational progress, strong industry advocacy, and exceptional member leadership. Along with bringing members together to celebrate and connect, the evening also included the installation of Todd Duffany of M. Duffany Builders as President for 2026 and the presentation of annual awards recognizing outstanding contributions to the Cape Cod building community.
Outgoing President April Ducott of Monomoy Home reflected on a transformative two-year term defined by strengthened governance, expanded partnerships, and a renewed focus on housing attainability and workforce development. Under Ducott’s leadership, HBRACC modernized its bylaws, revitalized committees, improved internal operations, and expanded engagement across the region.
During the meeting, HBRACC highlighted key accomplishments from the past year, including a record-breaking 2025 Building & Remodeling Industry of Cape Cod (BRICC) Awards program with nearly 200 submissions across 38 categories, helping fund the launch of Skilled Purpose, a second-chance carpentry training program funded through the Nail Bangers’ Golf Tournament, and the association’s most successful Residential Construction Career Day to date. Members were also recognized for major advocacy victories.
