FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MBAKS Promotes Jerry Hall to Serve as Executive Director
BELLEVUE, Wash., Feb. 9, 2023—The Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties (MBAKS) is excited to announce the promotion of Jerry Hall to Executive Director.
MBAKS is a trade association representing thousands of local homebuilders, tradespeople, architects, and remodelers in the two-county region. As an expert on issues affecting the housing industry and a leading pro-housing voice for the region MBAKS provides critical, ground-level insight into the regional housing affordability crisis. In his role as Executive Director, Hall will continue the association’s commitment to ensure that all people can attain housing and that everyone has access to a healthy and productive place to call home.
“For me, the importance of the association’s purpose is heartfelt and personal,” said Jerry Hall, Executive Director of MBAKS. “We are fortunate to live in a region that has enjoyed extraordinary economic success over the last few decades, yet, because the supply of housing did not keep pace with our growth, the cost of housing has reached unattainable levels for too many.”
Hall holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Whitman College and a Master’s in Business Administration from Harvard Business School. With decades of business leadership experience, he joined MBAKS in August of 2018, serving as its Chief Operating Officer. Shortly thereafter, he began serving as its Chief Financial Officer, and most recently as the organization’s Interim Executive Director.
“We are at a tipping point in our region and access to housing is becoming increasingly difficult” stated Hall. “I’m honored to be given the opportunity to lead the vital work MBAKS does in making home ownership possible for generations to come.”
