Industry Speakers Available Through NAHB Online Directory

Hiring a speaker is an effective way to promote attendance and bring energy to annual meetings and networking events.

NAHB’s new Online Speaker Directory gives local home builders associations, NAHB members and organizations direct access to members who can speak on a number of housing industry topics, including:

  • Trends and Forecasting
  • Professional Development
  • Customer Service
  • Sales and Marketing
  • 50+ Housing
  • Green Building
  • Business Management
  • Builder Software and Information Technology


In addition to these and other topics, motivational and keynote speakers are also available through the directory.

How to Use the Directory

Users can search the directory by topic, state, last name or keyword. Each listing gives the speaker's areas of expertise, contact information and how far they are willing to travel.

NAHB members can add themselves to the directory free of charge for one year and then enhance their existing directory listing for a small fee.

Non-members can add themselves by purchasing a non-member listing online from the NAHB Web site. Listings include basic information, in-depth topic specialties, photograph, Web site address and more. They are self-managed, can be changed at any time, and are good for one year once approved by NAHB staff.

For more information, e-mail Maria Nande at NAHB, or call her at 800-368-5242 x8435.
