Page Six
Executive Officer Phil Crone will step down from that position effec - tive July 7 after accepting a position as Vice President of Leading Builders of America. In his new role, he will be heavily involved with the code development process and with numerous legislative and regulatory challenges facing the housing industry across the nation. Phil started working for the Dallas BA’s government affairs team in 2006 while attending law school at SMU. In 2012, he became the Associa - tion’s seventh Executive Officer. Following is his open letter to the Associaiton membership. Thank you for the honor and privilege of working with you for the last 17 years. Our journey together has been truly fulfilling, and I am profoundly grateful for all that has been afforded to me during my tenure. I have gained lifelong friends and I have benefited tremendously from your collective wisdom and support. While it is with a heavy heart that I leave the Dallas BA, I am looking forward to the next phase of my career. I will continue to do my best to keep our industry in the business of ensuring that everyone has a roof over their head and an affordable place to call home. Working with our dedicated team here at the Dallas BA, I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact we have made in build - ing the nation's strongest housing market. I am immensely proud of our accomplishments, which include emerging strongly from the Great Recession, forming lasting partnerships with Opera- tion Finally Home and Collin College, and launching successful programs, events and initiatives, including those that kept us working safely during the COVID-19 crisis and rebuilding from the damage our office sustained during the winter storm in 2021. I'm forever thankful for you entrusting me with the roles and re - sponsibilities of Executive Officer at a young age and during chal - lenging times for the Association more than a decade ago. Thank you to past presidents Keller Webster, the late Joe Chamberlain, Jeff Dworkin, Frank Murphy, Donnie Evans, Michael Turner, Alan Hoffmann, Matt Robinson, Justin Webb, Matt Mitchell and Andrew Pieper, as well as our current President, John Porizek. Your passion and dedication made my time as Executive Officer an enjoyable experience and will continue to be a positive example for future Association leaders, including my successor. I am confident that the Dallas BA will continue to thrive, thanks to our experienced, talented, and dedicated staff, as well as the pas - sion and support of you, our volunteer leadership. As such, I look forward to witnessing the association's ongoing success. Please accept my heartfelt thanks for the opportunity of working with you and the entire team at the Dallas Builders Association. The memories and friendships Heidi and I have formed during my time here will remain with us for the rest of our lives. Executive Officer Phil Crone bids Dallas BA farewell
