BBIA March Lunch & Learn Recap

We had a great time at this month’s BBIA Lunch & Learn and we’re grateful to everyone who joined us!

Thank you to our keynote speaker, Jayna Leach, Senior VP & CMO of Visit Panama City Beach, for an engaging and insightful presentation on tourism, marketing, and the exciting initiatives driving growth in our area.

A special thank you to our event sponsors, EPCI Code Administration Services and Horsley Construction Group! Your support helps make these great meetings possible, and we appreciate you!

A big shoutout to Marty Perrett with Innovations Financial Credit Union and BBIA Immediate Past President for leading another great meeting with a packed agenda—thank you, Marty!

We were thrilled to welcome all of our new members and first-time attendees as well as all of Team BBIA! We were also excited to thank many of our 2025 Scholarship Home donors today—your generosity helps make this important initiative possible!

Thank you to Garrett Anderson with Anderson Construction for providing this month’s BBIA, FHBA & NAHB Government Affairs update.

A big thank you to Chad Overby with ABC Supply Co. and BBIA Young Professionals Chair for coming up to discuss upcoming YP events and encouraging other young professionals to get involved and join in the fun!

This month, we also had the chance to highlight BBIA Board Member Vickie Patterson with Propwic Construction, and congratulate her on her most recent success—chartering BBIA’s first NAHB Professional Women in Building (PWB) Council! Many of you had the opportunity to chat with Vickie and the PWB group as they work to raise funds to sponsor a home in the Habitat for Humanity Village. Congratulations, Vickie, and thank you for your leadership!
