Building Homes of Our Own, NBN Earn National Honors

Two vital outreach programs from NAHB ― Building Homes of Our Own, the award-winning interactive teaching tool for students, teachers and parents; and Nation’s Building News, the most comprehensive weekly source for home building industry news in the country — have earned national honors from PRNews, the 61-year-old publication about the business impact of public relations.

Both NAHB programs received top honors in their categories — “Interactive PR and Marketing” for Building Homes of Our Own, and “Membership Communications” for Nation’s Building New — during an awards ceremony held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on Dec. 11.

Open to any communications/marketing team at a nonprofit organization, association, government agency, NGO or educational institution, PR News’ Nonprofit Awards are judged by a blue-chip panel of communications consultants, educators and PR executives. They provide an annual benchmark for nonprofit communicators, who are often held to different standards than for-profit organizations.

The Interactive PR and Marketing Category recognizes outstanding use of digital media to communicate a message, include a Web site-based marketing campaign, outstanding e-mail communications and other capitalization of digital media for PR/marketing.

The Membership Communications Category salutes outstanding public relations efforts to an association’s membership year-round or for a particular campaign.
