February Is National Designation Month — Look for Discounted Class Fees

February is National Designation Month, and to celebrate the month and promote ongoing education in the housing industry, the NAHB University of Housing is offering licensed associations a special 50% discount on student fees for all classes held during February.

The NAHB University of Housing offers more than a dozen professional designations covering industry basics such as business management and marketing techniques, along with specialized courses including aging-in-place programs, property management and more.

Earning a designation allows NAHB members to hone their business skills and convey to their clients that they have superior training, practical experience and in-depth knowledge. Additionally, designation holders can take advantage of valuable networking opportunities throughout their enrollment by working closely with expert instructors and other professionals both within their field and outside their specific areas of expertise.

‘Vacation-a-Day’ Drawings at IBS

The NAHB University of Housing will conduct daily “Vacation-a-Day” drawings at their booth in NAHB’s Member Advantage Headquarters at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Orlando, FL, to kick off National Designation Month. A grand prize drawing will be held on the last day of IBS.

The daily prizes are a weekend stay at the Marriott Hotel of your choice. The grand prize is a seven-night stay at the Marriott Hotel of your choice, plus $1,000 toward airfare.

NAHB members who have an NAHB designation noted on their business card will receive a special prize for stopping by the University of Housing booth — as well as an extra chance to win the Vacation-a-Day Give-Away.

For more information, visit NAHB’s Member Advantage Headquarters in the D Hall lobby of the Orange County Convention Center during IBS, or online at www.nahb.org/designations.
