How It All Began

As the second largest metro area in the United States and a center of the design, construction, and real estate industries, it was only natural to expand west. Though the sprawling geography of LA makes it a challenge to bring people together to support our mission, we find that actually makes it all the more important!

Our City Chair

Brian Schaller

Brian joined Build Out Alliance to find a sense of belonging in the industry and quickly became committed to expanding that community for others. Passionate about fostering spaces where queer professionals and allies feel heard, valued, and empowered, he believes diverse voices are essential to driving meaningful progress. As City Chair of the Greater Los Angeles group, Brian is focused on strengthening the our presence through impactful events, networking opportunities, and professional programming. He brings a strategic, growth-focused mindset to championing equity and inclusion. Having worked in both New York and Los Angeles, Brian bridges diverse experiences to foster a more connected, inclusive network.
