Guiding the Future of Design-Build Delivery

“Design-build continues to expand because it delivers better outcomes for Owners and communities,” said Lisa Washington, CAE, Executive Director and CEO of DBIA. “This Board reflects the realities of today’s industry: increasingly complex projects, greater collaboration across sectors and a growing need for clear best practices. Their collective experience will help ensure design-build continues to evolve responsibly and effectively.”

As design-build continues to grow, approaching nearly half of all U.S. construction spending, DBIA’s National Board of Directors plays a central role in advancing the organization’s mission. The Board provides strategic direction for industry best practices, supports Owner success and helps ensure DBIA’s education, resources and advocacy keep pace with increasing demand for collaborative project delivery.
