Committees & Councils
The HBA has a variety of Committees & Councils to get involved in – from Regulatory and Workforce, to Membership and Leadership, to Public Events and Philanthropy. Serving on a committee or council is a rewarding way to share your expertise and interests with fellow members as we all strive to advance our careers and the HBA’s goals.
The HBA is actively involved in city, state and national issues related to the regulatory process… working for and with our members to promote the housing industry. We focus on impacting housing issues that remove regulatory barriers that impede the ability to build affordable housing. The HBA also helps protect property rights, provides tax relief for small businesses, and assure accessible, affordable financing.
