Members and EOs Can Find the Right NAHB Staff Faster Than Ever

If you’ve ever tried to call a big company and find the one person who can answer your questions, you’ll be glad to know that NAHB has just released a new online Contact Directory on its Web site to replace the former print version.

The new directory (www.nahb.org/contact) includes both a Staff Directory and a Subject Directory as well as the names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses for all staff at NAHB.

Available only to members, these directories are fully searchable and can be printed for easy reference.

The Subject Directory contains more than 700 keywords to help members identify the appropriate staff contact for a particular topic within seconds. In addition to searching by subject, members can also search by name.

The online Staff Directory makes it possible to look up staff by first name, last name or department. These options are particularly helpful when you can’t remember a contact’s full name or want to see additional contacts within a department.
