Inaugural CAASH Designees Inducted at Builders' Show
 |
|
CAASH on hand — the innaugural group of 50+ Certified Active Adult Specialist in Housing designees at IBS. |
 The NAHB 50+ Housing Council awarded 42 50+ housing professionals with the new Certified Active Adult Specialist in Housing (CAASH) designation during an induction ceremony at the International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Fla. earlier this year.
The CAASH designation is an NAHB education program that gives housing professionals serving the rapidly burgeoning 50+ market the essential knowledge, tools and skills that will help them succeed — from conducting initial research to design considerations and features to closing the sale and servicing the customer.
The inaugural class was inducted as part of a grandfathering program that waives the educational requirements for candidates who meet specific requirements.
