Call for leadership in HBA: Advocating for diverse perspectives

Interested in connecting with others in the industry, advising on HBA programs, benefits and services, or adding your voice on issues impacting housing in our region? Read on!

Each summer, HBA works to identify leaders for positions and opportunities in several areas of our organization for the following year. With an industry as diverse as ours in so many ways, we want to make sure our leadership represents the varied backgrounds, perspectives, and needs of our industry and housing in general. We also want to help HBA expand its voice to ensure all those who work in our industry, and the future of our industry, are represented.

The HBA Board and key groups within our organization work on major issues affecting our industry’s future. How we can become more representative of and inclusive of a wider range of people and businesses in our industry. How we can transform into a stronger educational, training, and workforce development resource. And ultimately, how we can continue to strengthen our core values: advocacy, member business value, and providing a diverse and supportive community.

If you’re interested in getting more connected within HBA, learning more about what HBA does or helping guide our work on behalf of housing and the building industry, we likely have a leadership position that is right for you! We have various types of commitments ranging from short-term to monthly to seasonal, as well as a range of in-person, online or hybrid ways to engage and contribute your time most effectively.

Opportunities include:

• HBA Board

• State Directors and National Delegates

• Home Building Foundation Board

• Workforce Development Advisory Board

• Councils (Professional Women in Building, Remodeling & Custom Building Council, Home Performance Council, Portland Building & Urban Development Council)

• Government Affairs

• Special Event Committees
