The Building Industry Association of San Diego County announced it has appointed its next president and chief executive officer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to work alongside BIA\u2019s talented members and partners to strengthen our pro-housing coalition, stop policies that hurt the ability to build homes, and ensure BIA is leading the way with smart, proactive solutions,\u201d Faucett said. <\/p>\n

Faucett is a well-known figure in local politics. She most recently served as president of Agenda Setting, her own business, providing strategic advice<\/a> on policy. She served for years as chief of staff for former Mayor Kevin Faulconer and deputy chief of staff for former Mayor Jerry Sanders.<\/p>\n

\u201cHousing is at the core of our region\u2019s biggest challenge: whether San Diego can be affordable or if San Diegans are going to be priced out of their own community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to bring back the sense of urgency around the housing crisis, because while progress has been made, the job isn\u2019t done and we have to keep up the momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aimee Faucett will succeed Lori Holt Pfeiler in the role beginning Dec. 15. The association offered thanks to Pfeiler for her years of leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder her guidance, the organization strengthened its advocacy voice, deepened member engagement, and helped drive progress on housing policy across San Diego County,\u201d the BIA said.<\/p>\n

The Building Industry Association<\/a> is a nonprofit trade association for professionals involved in the planning, design and construction of housing in the region.<\/p>\n

Faucett was selected by the BIA Board of Directors.<\/p>\n

\u201cAimee\u2019s depth of experience and leadership across government, business, and advocacy make her perfectly suited to lead the BIA at this pivotal time,\u201d said Brendan Hayes, BIA board chair. \u201cShe understands the challenges facing our industry, and will bring renewed urgency to addressing San Diego\u2019s housing crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to empower our members to educate the public and policymakers on what it really takes to address our housing emergency \u2014 and to fight back when new regulations drive costs even higher,\u201d Faucett said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhile small but loud opposition attempts to block new homes, we\u2019re going to ensure there\u2019s a strong, united voice fighting for doing the right thing. We will be unapologetic and unwavering as we work to create homes that San Diegans are counting on.\u201d<\/p>\n
