Spring Kick-off Wrap 2026

Our 51st Spring Kick-off took place last week at Lake Lawn Resort in Delavan, Wisconsin. Whether you were able to attend or not, here are some highlights from the event.

Thursday, March 5, 2026

We kicked things off with a welcome reception in Lake Lawn Resort’s outdoor heated igloo. Builders and Amwood staff enjoyed a relaxed evening of networking and catching up with one another.

Friday began with our general session, starting with Doug Scott’s overview of Amwood. This was followed by several informative presentations from staff, vendors, and builders. All presentations are available to view on the Amwood portal under the News section.

One highlight was a builder panel featuring Diamond Builders and Belland Construction, where attendees heard firsthand how working with Amwood has helped them grow their businesses.

We were also pleased to welcome Jeff Wolfe, President of Alliance Windows, who shared insights about their company and their approach to business.

The evening continued with a well-attended vendor show, followed by our annual awards dinner.

During the awards dinner:
• 14 builders were recognized as President’s Club winners for achieving $400,000 or more in packages during 2025.
• 4 builders were acknowledged as emerging builders. Newer builders who are showing great potential with Amwood.
• Setzke Custom Homes was honored for 10 years of dealer partnership with Amwood.

Doug Scott wrapped up the evening with one of the builders’ favorite traditions, handing out Advertising Reimbursement Program checks. Twelve builders participated in the program this past year, earning money back for co-branding their marketing with Amwood. In total, more than $50,000 was distributed!

As Doug joked that evening, “I don’t like handing these out, but the builders sure enjoy getting them.”

Saturday morning began with a hot breakfast, followed by our guest speakers from The Perk, Corrie Hoffman and Jess Kent-Johnson.

They led an engaging session focused on leveling up your business through mindset, trust, and accountability. Attendees walked away with actionable ideas they can immediately apply to improve performance and results.

The session also included a lively rock, paper, scissors competition, which came down to Doug Scott and Jeremy Statler of Statler Construction in the final round. Jeremy emerged as the overall champion.

A copy of The Perk’s presentation is available on the Amwood portal under the News section. They also invited attendees to join their free monthly webinar series.
