Please join BIA PAC and NAIOP to support the re-election of Supervisor Kristin Gaspar on Thursday, September 10. Supervisor Gaspar has been a consistent voice supporting our industry and the County’s efforts to tackle the housing crisis. Our industry needs Kristin’s experience and leadership on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

Even though we couldn’t meet with you in person for this member favorite event, we still want to connect as a BIA community! Share with us your favorite recipe, something tasty you learned to make during quarantine, your best grilling tips, special kitchen hacks, or even the story of the best meal you’ve ever eaten. We’ll compile all of your submissions into the virtual Taste of BIA Cookbook and send it out for the entire membership to enjoy. This is a great opportunity for exposure for yourself & your company – as well as a way to stay connected to your BIA colleagues. 

Click the button below to submit your page for the cookbook and at the end of September we will put it all together and send it out to our members! Questions? Contact Danielle Grommersch.

Currently, it takes 18 months or longer to get a project’s 401/404 permit from the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The BIA has expressed to RWQCB Staff that we would like to get the approval timeline down to less than 12 months. RWQCB Executive Officer Dave Gibson and Senior Water Resources Control Engineer Eric Becker will share how applicants can shorten the timeline on their application process. Learn directly from the regulators on how they review projects, what you can do to shorten the approval process, and get your questions answered directly from our guest speakers.

BUILD SD PAC donors and y|GEN members are invited to join us for an interactive webinar learning from an expert about current ballot measures in San Diego County. We’ll also learn more about the BIA endorsed candidates in the upcoming election – all while sipping your favorite beverage.
