Don Greenwell, the previous President who is retiring at the end of 2023, said, "The Builders aspires to improve the lives of people through construction through careers but also the build environment for the community at large, We're very excited about Lance Claiborne...the time for this association for Lance is now. His energy and expertise are exactly what the search committee was looking for." The eight-member national search committee was led by Rob Cleavinger who is also Senior Vice President/Regional Director of Construction Operations for JE Dunn Construction. The immediate past board chair for The Builders/AGC, said, "Everyone on the search committee determined the role and qualities needed in a new president. Lance Claiborne has a very mature executive leadership presence and a nice blend of experience in our industry. As a leader in the construction business, we need to show our membership that diversity, equity, and inclusion are alive and well."

Lance A. Claiborne is also excited about this new role and said, "I'm excited to explore the vibrant communities within The Builder's footprint across the heartland. Our Association boasts strong partnerships in the building industry, and nurturing and expanding these relationships will be key to our success. This is an exciting moment for our industry. While construction has deep roots, there is still room for sustained impact."
