Home Builders Association of West Virginia

What Home Builders Association of West Virginia does

The Home Builders Association of West Virginia (HBAWV) is a private non-profit state trade association founded in 1959 that represents the residential construction industry in West Virginia. Headquartered in Morgantown with an additional presence in Charleston, the association operates through a federated structure of 9 local chapters and serves approximately 700 members, including home builders, remodelers, developers, and associate members such as suppliers and trade contractors. HBAWV is a chartered affiliate of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), connecting its members to a 140,000+ member national federation.

The association's core activities center on industry advocacy, member education, networking events, and recognition programs. Its flagship public-facing programs include an annual Building Awards competition and a state convention, which function as both member-engagement vehicles and sponsorship-funded revenue channels. Member benefits include access to group insurance products and other affinity services brokered through the association's relationship with NAHB. Day-to-day operations are run by a small staff of 11-50 employees under the leadership of an Executive Officer (Jamie Burch) and a volunteer President (Kevin Roberts).

HBAWV's business model is the standard state-association model: recurring membership dues from builders and associate members, supplemented by event sponsorship and exhibit fees from the annual convention and awards program. Additional income is generated through revenue-share arrangements on member benefits such as insurance. The association does not raise venture or growth equity, does not pursue acquisitions, and reinvests any surplus into advocacy and member programs rather than distributing profit.
