Executive Officers Council Events at the Builders’ Show
 The NAHB Executive Officers Council (EOC) has scheduled seminars and networking events — including an EOC welcome reception and hospitality suite — at the 2007 International Builders’ Show in Orlando.
Executive Officers Council Highlights:
Monday, Feb. 5
- Make Your Association Indispensable
8:00-10:00 a.m.
Orange County Convention Center, West 240A , Level II
With the economy taking a downturn, it is important that NAHB members fully understand the benefits and business advantages that come with membership in their local associations. A panel of experienced executive officers from across the county will discuss the programs their associations offer to members that make their HBAs indispensable. The discussion will include how they developed and run the programs, and the benefits the programs have brought to their members.
Speakers include Susan Matlick, Maryland National Capital BIA; Robert Rivinius, California BIA; Sasha Zemanek, Interior Alaska BA; Wesley Galyon, Wichita Area BA, Kan; and Lisa Scott, HBA of Greater Peoria, Ill.
