New Web Tools Enable Associations to Share Information on Industry Challenges

A new online clearinghouse provides legislative, regulatory and political information for lobbyists, executive officers and other association staff who are looking for support on various issues they face in their communities.

The clearinghouse has been designed especially for state and local association staff members, and allows associations to share their experiences dealing with a range of challenges.  

The NAHB member-only site, www.NAHB.org/infosource, groups information into eight topic areas:

The site includes a catalog and description of projects that have received funding from NAHB's State & Local Issues Fund over the last five years.

There are currently about 50 items on the site, and the hope is that the content will grow considerably as association staff members from around the country submit information.

Visitors to the site can provide an overview of a local success story, experience, research project, study, etc. by clicking on the "SHARE" button on the site's first page. Files and other uploadable resources also can be added.

For more information on accessing or contributing to the site, e-mail Marie Zenner or call her at 800-368-5242 x8279.
