Established in 2021, BUILD was built to create a safe affinity space for Black lighting professionals from all fields of the industry. Our organization is comprised of lighting professionals from manufacturers, specifiers, and other lighting organizations throughout the United States.

BUILD is always open to new lighting professionals and to partner with likeminded organizations.

BUILD is excited to announce a successful transition into a 501 (c) (3) organization as of July 1, 2025!
