THE ORGANIZATION
Our client, the California Building Industry Association (cbia.org), is seeking a
Director of Legislative Affairs to support the Senior Vice President of Legislative
Affairs in his overall advocacy efforts for the Association and to maintain the status
of the Association as the leading voice for housing in California.
The California Building Industry Association (CBIA) is a statewide trade association,
based in Sacramento, representing more than 2,700 member companies including
homebuilders, landowners and developers, trade contractors, architects, engineers,
designers, suppliers, and industry professionals in the homebuilding, multi-family,
and mixed-use development markets. CBIA's annual budget is $8.0 million. The
nineteen-member staff is effective and long-tenured. Thirteen of the Board's 51
members sit on the Executive Committee.
CBIA was established in 1943 and is the recognized voice of the homebuilding and
land development industry in California. CBIA focuses on all three branches of state
government, while local building industry associations advocate at city and county
governments and the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) covers federal
issues in Washington DC. Members of CBIA are also members of local affiliates and
NAHB. CBIA also coordinates very closely with Leading Builders of America, the top
21 largest builders in the U.S., on key state legislative and regulatory policy issues.
CBIA has extensive legislative, technical, and legal programs. In addition to its
government affairs department, CBIA provides industry communications,
membership services, and a trade show, Pacific Coast Builders Conference (PCBC),
that covers all segments of the industry including suppliers, designers,
salespersons, infrastructure, political, environmental, and risk management
professionals. PCBC (pcbc.com) is the largest regional builders' trade show in the
nation. It features an extensive display of product innovations from hundreds of the
industry's leading manufacturers and suppliers and a full educational conference
with topical keynotes, seminars, and workshops in fields ranging from business
strategies to marketing to product design to applied technology.
CBIA established the California Homebuilding Foundation (CHF) in 1978 as an
independent 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, representing the state's
homebuilding industry. CHF's mission is to ensure the continued success of the
homebuilding industry through the development of its current and future workforce,
funding pertinent research, and honoring exemplary industry leaders. The
Foundation (mychf.org) hosts California's top industry award, Hall of Fame.
CBIA has been instrumental in furthering state policies that:
* Simplify or eliminate restrictive, costly building regulations and introduce
more flexibility into land use decisions.
* Balance the concern for the environment and energy conservation with the
need for more attainable for-sale housing, more affordable rental housing,
and removing impediments to building legally defined, affordable housing.
* Ensure that reasonable growth and development is both planned for and
encouraged.
* Bolster the state's economic growth.
In recent years, CBIA's successes have included beating back efforts to impose
costly, overly burdensome, inclusionary housing mandates, persuading the
California Energy Commission to decrease new energy efficiency standards costs by
70 percent while maintaining a high standard for California housing, and launching
a coordinated strategic effort to pass a $9 billion school construction bond.
In the future, CBIA will continue to focus on advocating for logical, balanced CEQA
reform and strategic regulatory relief that will continue to spur California's
economic growth and relieve the state's housing shortage.
THE POSITION
CBIA's Director of Legislative Affairs supports the Senior Vice President of Legislative
Affairs in the development and implementation of CBIA's legislative priorities by
working with member companies and regional BIAs, as well as state legislators and
the Administration, to help accomplish CBIA's policy objectives.
* Be an integrity-based voice for housing before the California Legislature and
the Administration.
* Develop and maintain relationships with state legislators and their staff,
Governor's office, and staff at numerous state agencies.
* Monitor, recommend positions, and actively lobby on bills of interest to CBIA.
* Draft bill position letters and testify in policy and fiscal committees on
measures of interest to CBIA, as well as other related lobbying activities.
* Shepherd sponsored legislation through the legislative process and negotiate
on bills of importance to CBIA, securing amendments to address industry
concerns.
* Support the SVP with coordination of CBIA's Government Affairs Committee,
as well as policy subcommittees.
* Support the SVP with coordination of legislative efforts with member
companies and regional BIAs for state issues.
* Regularly communicate and engage with the SVP on public policy strategies
and development of key legislative positions.
* Attend political fundraisers and other events.
* Occasionally travel to meet in person to build stronger relationships with CBIA
Government Affairs Committee members.
* Other duties assigned by the SVP.
This is an outstanding opportunity to join an influential, statewide, 81-year-old trade
organization, representing an industry that plays a significant role in California's
economy. CBIA takes pride in advocating on behalf of people who need housing of
all types and those who provide housing.
CBIA is committed to providing "Housing for All" and being an advocate for the most
