Contact the KBA office to learn how and why to get involved in these efforts.
The KBA also maintains several standing committees that support the ongoing work of the Association and its members. You’ll find a full list below. To learn more about any of these groups, or how to join, reach out to us directly.
Government Affairs Committee
Chair: Eric Peterson - Aegis Land Title
Meets the 3rd Thursday of each month - 8:00 AM
The Government Affairs Committee meets monthly to address issues that matter to our members. Meetings often feature guest speakers, typically elected officials or key decision-makers as well as training on navigating essential government tools, such as Small Works Rosters for finding public projects.
During election season, the committee also conducts interviews with candidates seeking public office, ensuring our members stay informed and engaged with local policy and leadership.
KBA Developer's Council
Chair: Kane Fenner - Zaxium
Meets the 1st Thursday of each month - 7:30 AM
Over the past year, the Developers & Builders Council has played a key role in addressing critical issues affecting land development professionals, ranging from builders and developers to real estate investors, engineers, and land use attorneys.
Regular meetings provide a forum for members to share concerns, collaborate on solutions, and engage in meaningful dialogue about challenges in the construction and permitting process. This longstanding group also serves as a direct conduit between our membership and local jurisdictions, with weekly coordination meetings involving municipalities and county representatives.
Many of KBA’s recent wins on code interpretation and development policy stem from the focused, informed work of this council and its members.
Membership Ambassadors Committee
Chair: Ian Laughlin - Laughlin Development
Meets the 3rd Thursday of each month - 9:00 AM
Members are the heart of the Kitsap Building Association. To help connect with companies across Kitsap County that would benefit from membership, KBA relies on a dedicated group of volunteer ambassadors. This committee is perfect for those who enjoy networking and want to help grow the association. Whether it’s a warm introduction or a peer-to-peer conversation, our ambassadors make outreach more personal and more effective.
