 David and Brooks Burleson, of Dave Burleson Construction Co. in Knoxville, Tenn., are the newest major donors to the National Housing Endowment, the philanthropic arm of NAHB.
“NAHB has helped me to achieve dreams I never thought were possible,” Burleson said. “I am honored to help others achieve the same dream through my gift to the National Housing Endowment. Giving to the endowment is the most effective way to help young people harness their brilliance and ambition towards strengthening our industry.”
“The National Housing Endowment is very proud to have David and Brooks Burleson join our growing family and we truly appreciate their investment in the future of the housing industry,” said Gary Garczynski, endowment chairman and 2002 NAHB president. “Our new initiative, the Homebuilding Education Leadership Program, was conceived to significantly increase the number of college graduates entering the residential construction management profession over the next decade, and the Burleson’s gift will help to make that possible.”
Burleson, with more than 45 years in home building, has a long history of giving back to the industry through his service to NAHB throughout his career.
He served four terms as a National Vice President, was the chairman of the State and Local Government Affairs Committee and has been a member of the NAHB Board of Directors for more than 40 years and the Executive Board for more than 20 years. He is currently on the Nominations Committee.
