July 15, 2022

Lindsay Brown: Executive Officer, CWHBA

In May, the Central Washington Home Builders Association promoted Lindsay Brown to executive officer. A long-time Yakima native, she previously served as CWHBA communications and events director. Since earning her undergraduate degree from Central Washington University in 2008 (Education), she has continued her formal education in both Communications (receiving her Masters in 2018) and Organizational Management (with a Masters in 2014).

She’s committed to a steadfast pursuit of advocacy, professionalism and excellence that will contribute to a healthy sense of pride in her association.

“Recognizing that home building is essential to the wellbeing of our communities, we should endure ahead, working to advance the common interests of one of the most heavily regulated industries,” she said. “CWHBA offers a platform for the building industry to gather and make the kind of changes we need to keep small business and the building industry alive here.”

A licensed skydiver and coach, Lindsay is enthusiastic about seeking adventure, traveling, and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds.

Danielle Winski: Digital Communications Manager, BIAW

Danielle Winski joined the BIAW team in April with nearly a decade of marketing experience under her belt working with organizations ranging from enterprise tech consultants to nonprofits.

“Joining the BIAW team has been a fantastic experience,” Winski said. “Growing up with my father and grandfather in construction and having a husband in the industry, I feel like I’ve found my second home here. I love telling important stories about the building industry and working with our outstanding members and local associations.”

Winski spends most of her free time with her husband and three daughters exploring the great outdoors with her camera in hand or working on projects around her house and yard. In the winter, she loves to cuddle up with a cup of coffee and a good book next to the fireplace.
