Rose, a builder/developer in the Washington, D.C. area and longtime member of NAHB, was honored by the association during the recent board of directors meeting for his numerous contributions to the industry and association.
“In the early 1990s, Michael was pivotal in designing NAHB’s aggressive and comprehensive environmental program ― a program that has resulted in a string of victories for the association and helped raise the bar for all of us on the best practices for building environmentally-friendly developments,” said NAHB President David Pressly.
Pressly also acknowledged Rose’s role in “pushing and prodding” NAHB into the era of electronic communications and laying the foundation for the creation of the online version of Nation’s Building News and the various NAHB committee and council e-newsletters.
“He’s always seems to be a step ahead of the rest of us in knowing where the market might be heading,” Pressly said, “and he’s always willing to speak his mind — even when it goes against conventional wisdom.”
Rose has been a member of NAHB since 1976, the president of his local association and a chairman and/or member of countless committees at NAHB. He has been a state representative and also served on the NAHB Executive Board five separate time.
