A Word From Our President
Elliot Steinbrink
HMF Contracting, LLC
The BIA Foundation of the RRV has been busy putting our mission into action alongside the Building Industry Association of the RRV. We're continuing to support students entering the building trades, invest in
|
workforce development, give back through community projects and find new ways for our industry to make a difference. In August, we introduced Building the Future, a new initiative to support the Foundation and invest in the future of our industry and community. None of this happens without the people who continue to step up, whether through a donation, sponsorship, volunteer time or simply getting involved. We've made a lot of progress this year and look forward to keeping that momentum going.
Sincerely,
|
Introducing our Building the Future program!
|
Your support strengthens workforce development, scholarships, and community-based building initiatives across our region. Partnership tiers are available for company and individual donors.
If you're interested in partnering, please email hailey@buildrrv.org.

We cannot express our gratitude enough for all of those who donated and helped the BIA Foundation during this year's Giving Hearts Day. Your contributions directly benefit our mission.
