The Building Industry Association of Clark County (BIA) installed Alexa Lee of GRO as its president. Lee is notably the second female in this role in the history of the association. Lee’s installation marks a significant milestone for both the organization and the local building industry.
“We are thrilled to have Alexa as the new BIA president. Having worked alongside her, I know the BIA is in great hands,” said Immediate Past President Chuck Neibert, co-owner of Affinity Homes LLC. “Alexa understands the balance and strength it takes to lead in this role, and I’m confident her leadership will guide the organization to continued success.”
Lee, who serves as sales manager at GRO, outlined a vision for 2025 centered on creating a more connected and inclusive community within the BIA. She plans to engage members personally, expand programs like Build Better, and strengthen efforts to diversify the membership base. Her goals also include building on the foundation established by past leadership while adapting to the industry’s evolving needs and finding innovative ways to keep members engaged.
“It’s an incredible honor to serve as the first female president of the BIA in 27 years” said Alexa Lee, Sales Manager at GRO and 2025 BIA President. “This milestone reflects the progress our industry has made with nearly 11 percent of construction jobs held by women”
Lee emphasized her commitment to connecting personally with members, expanding programs and addressing barriers to participation in the association and its initiatives.
“I hope to inspire not only our current members but also the next generation of leaders to see the building industry as a place where they can thrive,” Lee said. “Together, we’ll continue building a stronger, more connected community that supports our members’ success.”
By reinforcing key programs, adapting strategies to meet evolving member needs, and fostering a collaborative approach to growth, Lee aims to position the BIA for a successful and impactful year ahead.
