The following knowledgeable industry leaders and scholars from Business Wire's ExpertSource database are available to discuss topics relating to Corporate Social Responsibility.

Joseph Perkins is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Home Builders Association of Northern California (HBANC), a non-profit trade group of nearly 1,000 member companies. As an advocate for home builders, contractors, and suppliers, Perkins is a noted source for commentary on legislative and public policy issues that affect the residential construction industry, and the home buying public. Perkins initiated the association's support for mandatory sustainable green building standards - using Build It Green's "Green Point Rated" program - in all Bay Area cities and counties, aimed at reducing new home energy consumption by 50% and carbon emissions by 30% of 1990 levels. Perkins authors "The Bay Area Housing Report" at hbanc.org/blog, wrote a nationally-syndicated real estate column, and served on the White House staff of former Vice President Dan Quayle as his Deputy Assistant for Domestic Policy.
