TOP 10 NAHB ACTIONS FOR JANUARY

This past month, the NAHB took a variety of actions on behalf of members. I attached this list on the email along with this newsletter. Hope this helps show some of the value of NAHB membership. Please direct any questions about subjects within this report to the NAHB staff contact person who is identified at the end of each individual item.

SHOW CASE YOUR BUSINESS

In lieu of general membership meetings as we’ve done in past, we are giving members the opportunity to showcase their business or host a meet and greet. We usually try to meet on the 3rd or 4th Tuesday of the month, however, we can schedule for another date if more convenient for you. For more information, or if you would be willing to sponsor a meeting at your office or business location, please contact Belinda.
