The Home Builder - July 2026

PROFESSIONAL WOMEN IN BUILDING

PWB Happy Hour Celebrates the Men Who Champion Women in Building The Dallas Builders Association’s Professional Women in Building (PWB) Council welcomed 85 industry professionals to its annual PWB Happy Hour, a special event dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the men who champion, support, and advocate for women in the construction and homebuilding industry. Hosted by FBS Appliance, the event provided an engaging atmosphere for networking, mentorship, and meaningful conversations about advancing women in the industry. Guests enjoyed an elevated experience featuring a private chef, an interactive ice cream bar, and a special book signing with Don Dykstra of Bloomfield Homes, who shared insights and connected with attendees throughout the evening. A special thank you goes to FBS Appliance for serving as host and for their extraordinary support in bringing the event to life. Their team not only opened their showroom to attendees but also played a significant role in planning, coordinating, and sponsoring many of the event’s memorable details, helping create an exceptional experience for all who attended. The evening highlighted the power of partnership, mentorship, and community within the homebuilding industry while showcasing the PWB’s ongoing commitment to fostering professional growth and meaningful connections among its members and supporters.

June YP Happy Hour Brings Industry’s Next Gen Together for Networking and Philanthropy More than 75 young professionals and industry leaders gathered at Vidorra for the Dallas Builders Association’s Young Professionals Happy Hour, an evening focused on networking, relationship-building, and giving back to the community. The event provided attendees the opportunity to connect with peers across the homebuilding industry, exchange ideas, and build valuable professional relationships in a relaxed and engaging setting. As one of the council’s signature networking events, the happy hour continues to serve as a platform for fostering connections among the next generation of industry leaders. In addition to strengthening industry relationships, the event supported a meaningful cause: a portion of the proceeds benefited HomeAid North Texas and its mission to help individuals and families experiencing homelessness build new lives through housing and community outreach. The Young Professionals Council extends its sincere appreciation to James Hardie, the event’s presenting partner, and Rane Pearson Real Estate whose support helped make the evening a success. Their commitment to investing in emerging professionals and supporting the industry’s future leadership continues to make programs like this possible. YOUNG PROFESSIONALS COUNCIL
