The resolution honors Mr. Russell Davis for his remarkable 41-year tenure as the Executive Vice President of the Home Builders Association of Alabama (HBAA). Throughout his career, he has been a pivotal figure in Alabama's housing industry, representing a membership of 8,000 statewide from the HBAA headquarters in Montgomery. In addition to his role at HBAA, Mr. Davis has served as the Fund Administrator for the Alabama Home Builders Self Insurers Fund, which supports approximately 5,400 members and manages an average of $44 million in annual contributions. His extensive qualifications include being a United States Army veteran, a graduate of the University of Maryland, and holding various certifications in association management.

Mr. Davis's contributions extend beyond his executive roles; he has chaired significant coalitions and committees, including the Business Associations' Tax Coalition and the Alabama Council of Association Self Insurers' Funds. His dedication to the housing industry was recognized in 2024 when he received the Seldon Hale Career Achievement Award from the National Association of Home Builders. As he officially retires in December 2025, the resolution expresses gratitude for his legacy of service and advocacy, which has significantly impacted the housing industry and the builders he represented.
