I deeply respect the leaders who have helped build and guide this organization over the years.   Since **2022**, I’ve had the privilege of serving as an **RHCA Membership Ambassador**, volunteering at events and engaging with contractors and subcontractors throughout our community. Through these conversations, I’ve had the chance to hear directly from small business owners about the realities of running a company in this industry—the risks, the challenges, and the determination needed to keep moving forward.   These conversations are one of the main reasons I accepted this nomination.   As a **small business owner**, I understand what it takes to build a company step by step. Many contractors face daily challenges in competing for opportunities, growing their teams, and navigating an industry that often favors larger organizations.   Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to advocate for small businesses and serve on the boards of nonprofit organizations dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs and strengthening our communities. These experiences have given me a deep respect for the responsibility that comes with board leadership.   Receiving the **RHCA Luna Award for Business Advocate of the Year in 2024** was especially meaningful to me. The Luna Awards honor leaders and advocates who help create opportunities and advance professionals within the **Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (A/E/C) industry**. Being recognized by this community was a moment I will always cherish.   If elected to the RHCA Board, my goal is simple:   **To continue advocating for small business owners and subcontractors who work tirelessly every day to build their companies and contribute to the success of our industry.**   I believe our industry becomes stronger when we support each other, share opportunities, and collaborate.   That’s what **Stronger Together** means to me.   Thank you to everyone who continues to support and strengthen the RHCA community.   The **RHCA Board election will occur on March 27, 2026, during the Annual Membership Meeting**, and I would truly be honored to have your support.   \- Haydee Clark     Learn more about me: [https://regionalhca.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Haydee\_Clark\_RHCA\_Bio\_2026.pdf](https://regionalhca.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Haydee_Clark_RHCA_Bio_2026.pdf)   Register for the event: [https://form.jotform.com/260684190883163](https://form.jotform.com/260684190883163)   Learn about RHCA [https://regionalhca.org/](https://regionalhca.org/)     Post by [Haydee Clark, MBA](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/author/haydee-clark-mba) Topics: [Construction management](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/tag/construction-management), [Small Business](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/tag/small-business), [Construction](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/tag/construction), [Small Business Owners](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/tag/small-business-owners), [Entrepreneurship](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/tag/entrepreneurship), [Small Business Enterprise](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/tag/small-business-enterprise), [Women Business Enterprise](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/tag/women-business-enterprise), [Women Owned Business](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/tag/women-owned-business) [Explore more articles](https://resilientfreight.com/rfs-2-expanded-resource-hub-draft) [Facebook (new tab)](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fresilientfreight.com%2Fresilient-freight-blog%2Fhaydee-clark-rhca-board-2026) [X (new tab)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fresilientfreight.com%2Fresilient-freight-blog%2Fhaydee-clark-rhca-board-2026&text=Why+I%E2%80%99m+Running+for+the+RHCA+Board+of+Directors) [LinkedIn (new tab)](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fresilientfreight.com%2Fresilient-freight-blog%2Fhaydee-clark-rhca-board-2026) ## Post a comment ## Explore more ![](https://resilientfreight.com/hubfs/cd4c2829-3805-452c-97c5-db7a543cbd9a.jpeg) ### [Resilient Freight Solutions Founder, Haydee Clark Completes NCCER Core Construction Workforce Training Program Sponsored by RHCA](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/nccertraining) December 19, 2024 Dallas, TX – December 14, 2024 – Resilient Freight Solutions proudly announces that its founder, Haydee Clark, has successfully completed the NCCER Core Constru… [Read more](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/nccertraining) ![](https://resilientfreight.com/hubfs/IMG_0414.jpeg) ### [Haydee Clark Wins 2024 Luna Award for Business Advocacy](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/lunaawards2024) November 1, 2024 \*\*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\*\* Dallas, Texas – November 1, 2024 – Resilient Freight Solutions proudly announces that its Founder and CEO, Haydee Clark, has been awar… [Read more](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/lunaawards2024) ![](https://resilientfreight.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-01-31%20at%206-09-00%20AM.png) ### [Haydee Clark of Resilient Freight Solutions Recognized as WBE Advocate of the Year 2025](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/haydee-clark-of-resilient-freight-solutions-recognized-as-wbe-advocate-of-the-year-2025) January 31, 2026 Dallas–Fort Worth, TX | January 2026 [Read more](https://resilientfreight.com/resilient-freight-blog/haydee-clark-of-resilient-freight-solutions-recognized-as-wbe-advocate-of-the-year-2025) **Resilient Freight Solutions LLC** 13601 Preston Rd.
