Edward P Brady serves as President and CEO of the Home Builders Institute, an organization dedicated to workforce development in the construction industry. A second-generation home builder from Illinois who learned carpentry in college, he has spent decades advancing the residential construction sector, including serving as 2016 Chair of the National Association of Home Builders.
At HBI, Brady champions training programs that prepare diverse populations — including veterans, justice-involved individuals, and displaced workers — for careers in the skilled trades. He emphasizes that the organization's core focus is the success of its students, whom he views as central to the future of affordable housing construction in America, combining entrepreneurial thinking with a commitment to addressing the nation's shortage of skilled construction workers.
