Build PAC Introduces Peer to Peer Initiative
BUILD-PAC’s overall goal for the 2007 to 2008 election cycle is to raise $5 million in voluntary contributions. In order to be successful and reach its goal, BUILD-PAC can no longer continue to rely on the same 2% of NAHB members who contribute each year.
BUILD-PAC needs the support and commitment of all NAHB members in order to convey NAHB’s message to Capitol Hill. Increased member participation is BUILD-PAC’s top priority in this election cycle; this can only be accomplished by peer-to-peer fundraising.
Peer-to-peer contacts are typically accomplished in face-to-face settings on an individual basis and in small group meetings. NAHB members and Executive Officers from California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Tennessee were selected to participate in the pilot BUILD-PAC Champions training session in Washington, D.C.
The Champions will conduct individual or small group meetings with fellow NAHB members in their home states throughout October. These meetings will allow not only for an opportunity to increase PAC funds, but also provide an opportunity to educate fellow members on BUILD-PAC’s efforts to elect pro-housing candidates to Congress.
