Dwight Sandlin, CEO and co-founder of Hoover-based Signature Homes, was appointed to the Human Capital Advisory Council this year.
The council helps to further the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s knowledge and development of the labor and workforce, according to a release, and helps researchers better understand the short-term fluctuations and long-term structural issues related to labor markets. It includes 10 education and industry leaders, employment agencies and others throughout the Southeast. All members serve a three-year term on the council.
“In the case of Mr. Sandlin, we received a recommendation from our Center for Real Estate Analytics,” said Whitney Mancuso, senior economic analyst for the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
Sandlin has been working in housing markets since 1974, when he worked in real estate lending. When he left the banking aspect of the market, he was a senior vice president at BancBoston Mortgage. Sandlin has served on several boards throughout his career, including serving as past president of the Birmingham Homebuilder’s Association. He is now the chairman of the Birmingham Metropolitan Development Board.
“Being appointed to the Human Capital Advisory Council is a monumental honor, and I hope to provide valuable insight and data so the Advisory Council can have an analytical impact,” Sandlin said.
