The Home Builders Association of Greater Springfield (HBA) is seeking a strategic, relationship-driven Executive Officer to lead the organization into its next chapter of growth and impact.
A not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping those within our community achieve the dream of home ownership, the HBA is dedicated to the excellence and advancement of the residential construction industry. This is an opportunity for a leader who builds relationships naturally, thinks strategically, and turns vision into action. HBA has a strong foundation, engaged members, and a capable team. The next Executive Officer will build on those strengths while expanding HBA's membership, visibility, influence, and impact throughout Southwest Missouri.
KPM is conducting this important search on behalf of the HBA. All calls and inquiries should be made through KPM. Nominations and applications will be held in confidence. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Reach out to Sara Choate, Managing Director of KPM Human Capital Solutions for further information at: schoate@kpmcpa.com or apply directly.
The Opportunity As Executive Officer, you will serve as the organization's senior leader and a visible champion for the homebuilding industry. You will work closely with the Board, staff, members, community leaders, and public officials to:
- Set strategic direction and lead execution of HBA's next strategic plan.
- Grow and engage membership by strengthening the value HBA provides to builders and industry partners.
- Expand HBA's visibility and influence throughout Southwest Missouri.
- Build meaningful relationships with members, community leaders, municipalities, policymakers, industry partners, and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
- Advocate for the homebuilding industry and position HBA as a trusted community resource.
- Empower and develop staff by providing clear direction, accountability, and the freedom to succeed.
- Partner effectively with the Board to turn strategy into measurable action.
- Maintain financial and operational strength while identifying opportunities for sustainable growth.
The Leader We’re Looking For
Our ideal Executive Officer is:
- Strategic and visionary, with the ability to see what is possible and build a practical path forward.
- Relationship-driven, with an authentic ability to connect with a wide range of people and perspectives.
- Collaborative and empowering, creating clarity and accountability while trusting capable people to lead.
- Community-minded and credible, comfortable serving as a visible spokesperson and advocate.
- Growth-oriented, willing to challenge the status quo while respecting the relationships and history that have contributed to HBA's success.
- Results-focused, able to move from ideas to execution and measurable progress.
What You’ll Bring We are interested in what you've accomplished and how you lead, not simply the titles you've held.
Competitive candidates will bring demonstrated success in several of these areas:
- Community and stakeholder relationship development
- Government relations, advocacy, or public policy
- Organizational or membership growth
- Staff leadership and development
- Strategic planning and execution
- Membership engagement
- Board partnership and governance
- Fundraising, sponsorship, or business development
- Non-profit, association, or mission-driven leadership
- Financial and operational management
Prior Executive Officer experience is welcomed but not required. HBA places greater emphasis on community relations, organizational growth, and strategic planning experience than on having previously held an Executive Officer or CEO title.
Benefits & Time Off HBA offers a benefits package designed to support employees both professionally and personally, including:
- Competitive salary
- Paid time off including 13 observed holidays
- Healthcare assistance
What Success Looks Like The right leader will help HBA become an increasingly visible, influential, and indispensable resource for the homebuilding community.
Success will be reflected in growing and engaged membership, stronger community and government relationships, effective advocacy, successful events, an empowered staff, financial strength, and a clear strategy positioning HBA for the future.
Why HBA? This is more than an opportunity to maintain an organization. It is an opportunity to build on a strong foundation and help shape what comes next. Learn more about the HBA at hbaspringfield.com.
