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.

HBI works with 270 partner organizations in 48 states and Puerto Rico to offer 625 programs.
One of HBI's most innovative initiatives was inspired by feedback from potential students currently unemployed or underemployed, the record lows in the housing inventory and the severe skilled labor shortage. The Academies, now open in Charlotte, Denver, Houston, New Orleans, Orlando, Phoenix, and Sacramento demonstrate a creative approach that empowers students while simultaneously addressing the housing shortage and skills gap.
