Each year the HBA awards one Builder member and one Associate member with the Pillar Award.

This year’s honorees were Builder Frank McKee of the McKee Group, and Associate Andrea Connors of LandAmerica Commonwealth.
Jennifer McKee accepted the award on behalf of her father, who was unable to attend the event, saying it was an honor to receive this award “the HBA is such a great organization for those of us in the building industry. I know my father wishes he could be here to accept this himself and is very proud to receive such an honor.” Based in Springfield, Delaware County, PA, the McKee Group is a family-owned and managed real estate company with a 60-year history of experience in the building industry.

Having the opportunity to work with these outstanding individuals over the years and see the impact that these contributions have made, and the resulting changes in our industry, has made my involvement worthwhile.”
