BUILD-PAC Champions Program Spotlights Industry’s Key Fundraisers
Last year, thousands of NAHB members played a vital role in helping the industry advance through their contributions to BUILD-PAC, NAHB's nonpartisan political action committee dedicated to electing pro-housing candidates. And the top tier of those members who recruited new donors and raised at least $10,000 for the committee became BUILD-PAC Champions.
“BUILD-PAC is not only an individual commitment — it is an investment in the future of our industry,” said Mike Munnerlyn, owner of Maxtec Drywall Inc. and a 2022 BUILD-PAC Champion. “This unified investment ensures that we as an organized federation will have the resources to combat bad legislation set forth by special interest groups.”
Munnerlyn was among an esteemed group of 2022 Champions honored earlier this year at the International Builders’ Show (IBS). Not only did he and the other top fundraisers earn the recognition of the industry peers, as BUILD-PAC Champions they also enjoyed several benefits including:
- Exclusive access to the Capitol Club hospitality suite during IBS;
- An invitation to the Capitol Club dinner at IBS; and
- Recognition at NAHB Board of Directors meetings.
“BUILD-PAC is the shield that protects our industry, our business and our ability to provide for our family,” Munnerlyn said.
Aspiring BUILD-PAC Champions must register for the program so that staff can properly attribute contributions.
