Council Acknowledged for BUILD-PAC Fundraising Efforts

Earlier this month during NAHB’s spring board meeting in Washington, D.C., the Building Systems Councils (BSC) was recognized for its fundraising efforts for BUILD-PAC, the association’s political action committee.

Calling the BSC “the council to emulate,” Bob Nielsen, BUILD-PAC’s chairman, thanked the council’s trustees for “doing a fabulous job” of fundraising.

Roger Lyons, of Penn Lyon Homes, was thanked for his hard work and congratulated for becoming the first NAHB council member to be a voting member of BUILD-PAC.

At the 2002 SHOWCASE, the annual trade show and educational conference for systems-built housing, BSC members raised more than $65,000 for the PAC, which was the most any NAHB council raised at a single event last year.

The council hopes to raise at least $70,000 during the 2003 SHOWCASE.

At the board meeting, BUILD-PAC announced that its goal is to raise $1.4 million this year.

In the 2001-2002 election cycle, BUILD-PAC was the 13th largest PAC donor and the fifth largest business donor to Democratic candidates and the sixth largest to Republicans.
