Washington, DC
Our newest City, this group expands Build Out Alliance to our Nation’s Capitol Region in 2024.
Upcoming Events
One of the best ways to connect is by joining us at an upcoming event.
How It All Began
In the heart of DC, where history and progress collide, a chance meeting at a Pride event sparked a vision for a new City of Build Out Alliance. What started as a conversation between industry leaders soon became a movement to champion the queer community in one of the most vibrant queer cities in the nation. From a winning Pride float design to a packed event at Pitchers, the journey began in 2024!
Our City Leader
Brandon Whiteley
Brandon first learned about Build Out Alliance while working in California and eagerly joined the effort to expand the organization after moving to Washington, DC. Passionate about fostering connections and visibility for queer professionals in the building industry, Brandon is dedicated to providing resources for career growth through skills-based learning and networking events. As the DC City Chair, he focuses on aligning local efforts with Build Out’s national initiatives, ensuring valuable engagement and sustainable growth for the community.
