Three Key Events Right Around the Corner

Chances are, you'll want to attend one or more of these great opportunities:

  • NAHB's Spring Construction Forecast Conference happens April 24 at the National Housing Center in Washington, DC. Attendees will get top-notch analyses from the nation's leading economists regarding where the national economy and housing market are headed. NAHB members get discounted registration. Use the link for details or contact Steve Melman at 800-368-5242 x8245.

  • NAHB's Seniors Housing Symposium — Building for Boomers & Beyond happens April 28-30 in Indian Wells, CA. Recognizing that the needs of boomers and prior generations are constantly evolving and that there is no single market, this conference has been revamped with new offerings and speakers to ensure a totally fresh experience. Now attendees can get plan evaluations by design experts, ad reviews by marketing pros, advice about rental housing for seniors, and more.

Don't delay. The pre-registration cutoff date is Saturday, April 12.  Get details and an agenda online, or contact Jeff Jenkins at 800-368-5242 x8292 for more.

  • Don't forget to register for NAHB's most important grassroots lobbying event of the year, our 2003 Legislative Conference on May 7. Participate in an interactive issues briefing session first thing in the morning at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, which is home base for the NAHB Spring Board of Directors Meeting in Washington. Then head up to Capitol Hill for pre-arranged meetings with your federal legislators. The new venue (last year's event was at the National Housing Center) should make it especially easy for those coming into town for the spring board meeting to participate. Get details online, or contact Jessie Boyce at 800-368-5242 x8334.
