Make Housing a Priority in Congress

Members can mark their calendars and sign up for the most important grassroots lobbying event of the year — NAHB’s 2004 Legislative Conference on Wednesday, April 28 in Washington, D.C.

The conference kicks off the NAHB Spring Board of Directors meeting and is your opportunity, along with fellow NAHB members, to:

  • Meet with your senators and representatives on Capitol Hill
  • Lobby on crucial housing legislation
  • Take a stand on issues affecting your bottom line

The daylong event will start with a morning briefing, followed by visits to congressional offices and ending with a reception and feedback session.

For information or assistance in scheduling meetings with your representative or senators, contact an NAHB Congressional Representative at 800-368-5242 x8470.

For information or to register online, visit the Legislative Conference page on the NAHB Web site.
