Share Your Knowledge and Expertise

The editorial staff of the association would like to draw upon the members’ wide-ranging expertise to help explain the impact of building industry policies, news and trends on day to day business. These impacts will be reported in NAHB's more than 20 electronic newsletters and other publications.

Members who wish to participate will be contacted by phone or e-mail when there is news in their areas of expertise. It's an opportunity for members to gain national exposure among their peers.

Ideal participants are members who, while they may not hold elected offices in their local or state associations, have a significant knowledge base in a specific area and are interested in sharing their experience and perspective with others.

While NAHB will continue to expand to additional areas of interest to NAHB members, the initial request is for stakeholder members who are willing to comment on one or more of the following issues: 

• Storm water management
• General liability insurance
• Impact fees
• Habitat conservation plans (HCPs)
• Active adult housing

Executive officers in state and local accociations have already begun compiling contact information about members who they believe will be enthusiastic about acting as sources for stories about critical issues for NAHB print and electronic publications.

If you are interested in participating or know of someone who would be a good resource, please contact your executive officer or NAHB Public Affairs at 800-368-5242 x8061.
