PBBOR and community leaders champion a stronger Permian Basin
May 22—MIDLAND — The Permian Basin Board of REALTORS (PBBOR) hosted a successful Member Luncheon this week, bringing together REALTORS, community advocates, and local leaders for an open discussion about the future of Midland and the greater Permian Basin region.
Featured speakers were Kevin Dawson, founder of the popular civic engagement platform Maybe In Midland-Odessa, and Midland City Council Member Amy Stretcher Burkes (District Four), alongside PBBOR President Joel Cooke. The event is one of many held annually that underscores PBBOR's shared commitment to collaborative progress between the public and private sectors.
"PBBOR members do more than help people buy and sell homes—they actively shape the neighborhoods where they live and work," said Peter L. Mosca, Association Executive of PBBOR. "When REALTORS unite with city leaders and advocates, we lay the groundwork for long-term opportunity, housing access, and economic vitality for all residents."
From economic development to sustainable housing to quality-of-life issues, the luncheon highlighted how REALTORS® are critical voices in conversations that shape the future of the Permian Basin. The event also reflected PBBOR's renewed focus on relevance, relationship-building, and regional advocacy.
"The Permian Basin isn't just booming—it's building," Mosca added. "And PBBOR is proud to work alongside leaders like Kevin Dawson and Councilmember Burkes to ensure that our communities continue to thrive—now and for generations to come."
