NAHB University of Housing Seeks Feedback on Education

The NAHB University of Housing is seeking feedback from participants in NAHB courses, designations and conferences about how the education opportunities may have helped increase their profits, expand their networking or enhance their careers.

Among the feedback sought:

  • Designees could report on whether they would recommend pursuing a designation and how the designation affected their businesses and careers.

  • Conference attendees could indicate what three tips, ideas or concepts they learned at the conferences they attended.

  • Course attendees could provide feedback on what they learned from course facilitators and fellow students and their overall classroom experience.


To provide feedback, visit www.nahb.org/Education08 and click on “Share Your Radical Thoughts.”
