  • Learn more about the thousands of resources available on the NAHB Web site — www.nahb.org. NAHB members: stop to create your personal username and password and to set your personal “My NAHB” profile. Then “Log In To Win.”
  • Find out about NAHB's political victories, then sign on to help with critical issues that really affect your business, such as NAHB's Legal Research program and the LANDS attorney network focusing on land development and environmental legal battles.
  • Learn more. Earn more. Get the details about what a professional designation can mean to you. Get a copy of the free 2005 NAHB Education Program Guide from the NAHB University of Housing, available for the first time this year.
  • Visit with the staff of the Home Builders Institute, the workforce development arm of NAHB, who will be on hand to familiarize visitors with “The Industry’s Labor One-Stop.”
  • While they last, get a free copy of the NAHB Research Center’s 2005 Directory of Accessible Building Products.
  • Attend live demonstrations of the BuilderBooks.com estimating software, EstimatorPRO.
