Following the retirement announcement of Margi Grein at its July meeting, the Nevada State Contractors Board unanimously appointed David Behar to fill the position of Executive Officer effective August 1, 2024.

“It is an honor to be able to advance and promote the mission of the Nevada Contractors Board as Executive Officer, and I look forward to building upon the relationships we have with industry representatives, government officials, and community partners as we continue to strengthen construction standards and public safety for the betterment of Nevada,” Behar said.

Behar joined the Board in October 2022 as Deputy Director of Investigations and was promoted to Director of Investigations in February of 2023 and Deputy Executive Officer in April of 2024. Prior to joining the Board, Behar previously spent 25 years in federal law enforcement with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as both a DEA Special Agent and Group Supervisor. Behar brings vast leadership experience working with state and local agencies on public protections and has a track record of collaboration on efforts to improve processes and implement modernization.

In recent years, Behar’s management of the Board’s Enforcement Department helped to streamline investigative processes and make administrative hearings for the Residential Recovery Fund more efficient. His priority of consumer protection led to the creation of a Solar Investigations Unit to better coordinate resources and disciplinary action following an increase in consumer complaints related to residential solar construction.

Behar continues to foster growing partnerships with industry representatives, local and state government officials, and members of the legislative and executive branch in pursuit of expanding public outreach initiatives, strengthening consequences for unlawful construction activities, and strategically advocating for the importance and value of contractor licensure.
