The Building Industry Association of the RRV is proud to celebrate a significant achievement by BIA President Shannon Roers, ROERS, who was named Builder of the Year by the North Dakota Association of Builders during its annual banquet and 50th anniversary celebration Nov. 3 in Minot.
Although Shannon was unable to attend the event, the recognition reflects her outstanding leadership, dedication to the building industry and commitment to strengthening communities across North Dakota. As president of BIA-RRV during the Association's 70th anniversary year, Shannon has helped guide strategic priorities focused on membership growth, advocacy and long-term sustainability.

Since joining the board of directors in 2021, she has been a strong advocate for housing opportunities, industry advancement and member engagement. One of Shannon's most notable contributions was helping lead the transition from the Home Builders Association of F-M to the Building Industry Association of the RRV. The rebranding effort better reflects the breadth of the Association's membership and mission while positioning the organization for future growth and success throughout the region.
Shannon's leadership extends beyond BIA-RRV. Through her involvement at the state level, she has worked to support the building industry, promote housing solutions and strengthen partnerships that help communities thrive. Her collaborative approach, vision and willingness to serve have earned the respect of fellow members and industry leaders alike.
The Builder of the Year award is one of the highest honors presented by the North Dakota Association of Builders and recognizes individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the industry through leadership, service and advocacy.
Shannon was named the BIA-RRV's Builder Volunteer of the Year award in October and will be honored Jan. 28 at the New Year Celebration along with the Association's other local top award winners.
