Many of the National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB) long-time members highlight the benefits of attending the association’s leadership meetings. These gatherings help shape NAHB’s policies and initiatives on key industry issues, while also providing opportunities for networking and business development.
Newer members and first-time attendees might not yet realize the value of these meetings, which are held three times each year in the spring, fall, and at the International Builders’ Show. To address this, NAHB has developed a learning seminar specifically for those who want to make the most of their time.
The New Attendee Workshop is a session featuring panel discussions and presentations tailored for first-time attendees of NAHB leadership meetings. It is also beneficial for young professionals and new council and committee members.
Panelists from a previous New Attendee Workshop included Eugene Graf, NAHB Immediate Past Chair Alicia Huey, NAHB Chairman Carl Harris, and Erin LeCorgne. During this event, attendees hear directly from fellow members and NAHB leaders from across the country. Senior Officers and other leaders discuss ways to maximize their leadership meeting experience. They also share how their NAHB leadership journeys began and how those experiences benefited both the Federation and their businesses.
Feedback from participants after the most recent workshop in June was positive: “I thought it was a great ice breaker!” said one attendee. Another noted, “I think these meetings are critical,” while another respondent commented, “This has been the most helpful thing I’ve attended yet.”
The next New Attendee Workshop will take place Tuesday, Oct. 1, from 4-5 p.m. CT during the 2024 Fall Leadership Meeting. The session will be held in the Grand Oaks Q room of the JW Marriott San Antonio, Conference Center Level 2.
Registration for the workshop is not required. Contact Rachel Branson with any questions.
