The Vice President of Development and Community Investment will serve in the pivotal role of primary fundraiser for The Home Builders Institute (HBI). In collaboration with the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Vice President will foster meaningful connections and drive organizational strategy to cultivate essential partnerships with contributors and funders. In addition to the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Vice President will work strategically and in collaboration with the Board of Trustees and Senior Leadership Team, team members across the organization, and HBI stakeholders to identify, engage, and partner with individuals, families, corporate entities, and foundations to build a diverse stream of philanthropic funding that expands the number of students served, attracts and retains the best instructors in the construction field, and increases the geographic footprint, depth, and breadth of HBI programs and The Academies.
