A Note from Bob Peterson, Candidate for Third Vice Chairman of NAHB

The election for Third Vice Chairman will take place at the Leadership Council meeting at the International Builders’ Show (IBS).

Wow! What a year 2023 has been. I have had the opportunity to travel and meet a lot of you this past year.

The best year ever. Visiting local and state HBAs. Meeting the members of this great Federation — the people who really do the work to make housing happen. Yes, that is you!

I learned that there is a desire for all three levels — local, state and federal — to stay more connected, be more aligned with each other and work together to make our mission at the NAHB Federation come true for all.

I learned that small companies — Builders, Remodelers, Associates and Affiliates — are all just as important in this Federation as the larger companies. We all have a purpose: “Providing attainable, comfortable, livable shelter for the American public.”

I learned that women are a key cog in the future of housing — always have been, but the strength you ladies bring to the table is second to none!

My promise to you all is that, if elected, I will not lose my roots, where I came from and where I have been, that put me in the position I am in today. I will always work for the Federation as one.

Now it is time to get to work!
