2025 Volunteer of the Year
Excerpted from remarks by Joe Tuggle, 2024-2025 President, during the award presentation at the 2025 Annual Convention…
Wes was very involved with our governmental affairs team during this year’s Tort Reform battle. He visited the Capitol on a regular basis to participate in committee hearings with our legislative team and share his perspective as a business leader with legislators. We were honored to have him join with our staff for the ceremony when Governor Kemp officially signed the tort reform bills into law. Another big legislative initiative for this recent session involved updating the general contractor licensing law. Staff from Governor Kemp’s office asked our team and representatives from the Home Builders Association of Georgia to lead development of all draft language that impacted Georgia’s commercial general contractors and residential contractors code sections. Wes was a great advocate for the industry when we met with the Governor’s staff to share what industry wanted to include in the update. Our work resulted in House Bill 635. The legislation was introduced and passed by the House & Senate this past spring by overwhelming margins and Governor Kemp signed it into law.

2025 YLP Member of the Year
Excerpt from comments by Joe Tuggle, 2024-2025 President, during the award presentation ceremony . . .
During his time as the chair of the Young Leadership Program, he always put integrity ahead of expedience and always listened before speaking. And of most importance, he always asked “What helps the collective team the most?” His peers credit him with an increase in YLP membership in the middle Georgia region as attendance has surged and new volunteers raised their hands. Fellow YLP members shared that anyone who has sought advice from Blake always leaves the encounter clearer, calmer, and more confident and that he builds people up through encouraging words.
