WASHINGTON, DC-On July 10, activists across the country held protests against Pacifica board chair Ken Ford and his employer, based here, the National Association of Home Builders. The protests came as an attempt to pressure Ford to resign from Pacifica’s board. Donna Reichle of the NAHB tells GlobeSt.com in an interview that the protestors’ cause is completely unrelated to the NAHB.

Ford is a manager at NAHB and as Reichle points out, serves as chair of Pacifica’s board on his own time. When asked if she had anything to say to those who had protested the NAHB on the day of action, Reichle comments, “I would say that this is a free speech issue. It is his right outside the NAHB to do and say as he sees fit as long as it has no negative impact on the NAHB. This issue has absolutely nothing to do with the NAHB.”

Reichle reemphasizes, “The NAHB perspective on this matter is that it has nothing to do with the NAHB whatsoever. Serving on Pacifica’s board is something he does in his own time.”
