Kelly Fox builds up the industry and his community

by Danielle Winski Digital Communications Manager

Building communities is at the heart of what BIAW represents, and while our builder members are the backbone, our associate members are the glue that brings us all together. One associate member stands out in his efforts to build his local community and the industry—Kelly Fox with Frontier Building Supply.

As a Skagit/Island Counties Builders Association (SICBA) member, Fox is heavily involved with SICBA and BIAW through different committees. He has served on SICBA’s Board of Directors and is a State Director representing his local association. Also serving on SICBA’s Membership Committee, Fox readily sponsors recruiting and afterhour events designed to attract new members.

Community centered

Even with a busy travel schedule, Fox dedicates his time at home to supporting his local community of Anacortes. Our future lies with today’s teens and young adults. To help build our future leaders, Fox regularly participates in programs with students and youth groups.

Building the future

Fox takes an active approach to building a solid industry that will continue to grow for years. He takes the time to reach out to elected officials to help bring some sense to the rapid cost increase of materials and how to reduce that burden on builders.

Beyond working with elected officials on material costs, he has an eye on the industry’s future. As more consumers and builders seek environmentally friendly options for their homes, Fox provides an array of green materials and products in his showrooms.

Fox is a model associate member with an eye on the future, the industry and his community. For these reasons, SICBA nominated Kelly Fox for the annual BIAW Associate Appreciation Award.

Recognizing outstanding contributions

Every year, each local association nominates one associate member who has made significant contributions to the industry and its community.

BIAW’s Associate Advisory Council (AAC) uses these nominations to recognize the members representing their local association, community and the building industry with an Associate Appreciation Award at BIAW’s Fall Board of Directors meeting each year.
