Strengthen Leadership Skills at Upcoming Conferences

Executive Officers and home builders association staff members and volunteer leaders can strengthen their leadership skills and develop new approaches to management at one of two National Leadership Training Conferences to be held this fall.

The first leadership training conference takes place immediately prior to The National Conference on Membership, Oct. 2-3 at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines.

The second is scheduled for Nov. 6-7 at the Intercontinental Hotel Buckhead in Atlanta.

Strong association leadership requires continual learning and professional development. Participants will engage in high-level sessions on team planning, organization building, leadership development for association volunteers and ways to create a more dynamic organization — skills that will help them make membership more valuable to current and prospective members.

 Session highlights include:

  • “Team Planning: The President and Executive Officer Partnership” ― This seminar explores the leadership and management styles of presidents and executive officers and provides an opportunity for participants to set their leadership goals for the coming year.

  • “Identifying Future Leaders and Building a Strong Board” — Participants will learn how to determine the ideal composition of their boards and actively recruit members to serve.

  • “Building a Remarkable Organization” ― This event provides attendees with the diagnostic tools to keep their association on the road to success. Participants will learn the methods they can use to prevent minor problems from becoming full-blown crises.


Other session topics include “Running Effective Meetings” and “Clever Approaches to Human Behaviors.”

Attendees also will have opportunities to network and share ideas and challenges with their association colleagues.
