KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 16, 2020 - Katie Castro has joined The Builders’ Association as Membership Services Director.

Katie leads a team of membership managers at the Association’s service centers in the Greater Kansas City Area and in Central and Southern Missouri. The team works collaboratively to enhance the membership experience for the Association’s 750 member companies.

Katie is an active member of Networking for Professionals. She was also recently nominated to the “Rockstars Class of 2020” by Band of Angels, a charitable organization that collects instruments for students in need at area school districts.

Katie was most recently Director of Membership for an association serving individuals in the management of nonprofit organizations. She has four sons, two at college and two at home in Prairie Village, Kansas. She is also pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Johnson County Community College.

“Katie’s background and experience is exactly why we selected her for this role,” said Don Greenwell, President of The Builders’ Association. “We are excited about what she can bring to our membership. She is the right person to help us advance our mission of improving people’s lives through commercial construction. She is a servant leader who embodies our core values of Commitment, Collaboration and Advancement.”
