YP Logo

The GAHBA’s Young Professionals Group brings together young professionals in the building industry working to build the next generation of industry leaders. The group’s goal is to energize the under-45 workforce by offering a fun platform to connect with one another and potential mentors, which will in turn help expand members’ professional networks.

Emerging Leaders Program

The YP Emerging Leaders Program is designed to engage and build the next generation of rising leaders within the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association. Participants in the program will gain knowledge in the four pillars of the association: Advocacy, Networking, Education, & Community Service. Participants will also learn about the building industry from leaders in the field and will have opportunities to network with those same leaders. Must be a GAHBA member to participate. The program begins once candidates are chosen in mid-February. Term ends December 31 of this year.
