PBA names Daniel Durden as CEO

The Pennsylvania Builders Association has named Daniel Durden as its new CEO, replacing Jennifer Casey, who announced her resignation in August.

Durden, the former chief legal officer for the National Association of Home Builders, will take over the full-time role on Oct. 27.

He served in that capacity for 17 years, where he oversaw 11 legal professionals who worked on a wide array of association and transactional issues, as well as advocating on behalf of the building industry in the nation’s courts and administrative agencies.

“Dan comes to PBA with experience in many areas that will immediately benefit our organization,” said PBA President Kevin Coutts. “It will be an easy transition to get him up to speed as we start a new chapter in the PBA history book.”

Durden received his law degree from American University’s Washington College of Law, where he served as senior editor of the American University Law Review. He received his undergraduate degree in English from Northern Kentucky University.

“I look forward to working with an organization that can contribute so much to improving Pennsylvania’s economy while making the American dream a reality for the state’s residents,” he said.

The PBA is a nonprofit professional trade organization representing nearly 5,400 member companies from across the commonwealth.
