Allen Drewes

State Representative to NAHB

I graduated from Elmhurst College in 2001 with a BS in Geography. I have worked for my father part time since 1994 full time since 2001. While I worked for him I supervised the construction of over 80 townhouses and over 75 condos and 10 houses.

I joined the organization in 2003, and came on the board in 2006, finally onto the exec board in 2012. I have earned three NAHB builder designations: the Certified Graduate Builder CGB, Certified Aging in Place CAPS, and Certified Green Professional CGP.

While working at the association I’ve worked on the newsletter, directory, programs, membership, MOC, government affairs committees, chaired the 5k, MOC, Government Affairs, and the golf committee. I’ve also been an Area VP for HBAI. For the past 5 years I’ve also been on the nominating committee, chairing it for the last two years. I’m currently the Secretary for HBAI as well as the SSHBA PAC Chairman.
