Chief Executive Officer – BILD Calgary Region
BILD Calgary Region is a not-for-profit organization whose primary role is to advocate on behalf of our 700 building industry members in the Calgary Region.
The Organization:
BILD Calgary Region was created in March of 2016 because of an amalgamation of the Canadian Home Builders, Calgary Region and the Urban Development Institute, Calgary. Both these organizations had long-term roots in Calgary, but it was determined that one organization of combined memberships would be a more successful advocacy group.
BILD Calgary Region’s membership consists of Developers, Builders, Renovators, Trades, Manufacturers, Suppliers, Consultants and Professionals, all doing business in the building industry.
BILD Calgary Region has a staff of 14. Half of our staff are dedicated to our government and public relations work. The other half manage our member’s programs, events, committees, finance and administration of the organization.
BILD Calgary Region instills these values in everything we do.
