BUILD-PAC is governed by a Board of Trustees comprised of more than 100 NAHB members. There is one trustee per eight U.S. Congressional districts for every state. Candidates for vacancies on BUILD-PAC’s Board of Trustees must be recommended in writing (email or letter) by their state associations. In states without statewide NAHB affiliates, the NAHB National Representative recommends candidates for vacancies.
