20 Club Forming for Seniors Housing

NAHB, in conjunction with the NAHB Seniors Housing Council, is preparing to launch its first 20 Club for builders and developers who serve the 50+ housing market. The newly formed 50+ Seniors 20 Club will enable members interested or involved in seniors housing to gain additional insight about various aspects of the seniors housing industry from peers who operate in non-competing markets. 

The new seniors 20 Club is for single-family and multifamily builders and developers who build for-sale and rental communities that cater to boomers, empty nesters, pre-retirees, active adults and seniors.

Plans also are underway to eventually form separate clubs for architects and other industry professionals involved in assisted living and other types of seniors housing.

How the 20 Club Works

NAHB's 50+ Seniors 20 Club is open to CEOs, presidents, owners, principals and partners in companies involved in the seniors housing industry. Members will be grouped with other industry leaders from non-competing markets whose companies are similar in size and operations. They will meet several times a year to exchange ideas and develop business, strategic and marketing plans that position their companies for success.

"The networking and education in a 20 Club is second to none," said NAHB Seniors Housing Council Vice Chair Randy Rinehart, a custom builder from Charlottesville, VA, who has been active in 20 Clubs program. "It allows the owners and decision-makers from companies to exchange information, find out what others are doing across the country and pick up ways to improve operations and increase their bottom line. The best way to learn is through others' experiences." 

Fill out the 50+ Seniors 20 Club application. Or e-mail Kristin Peck or call her at 800-368-5242 x8105 for more details.
