Bust Media Myths Confidently With Spokesperson Training
NAHB Public Affairs has created a comprehensive set of materials — Myth Buster resources — to help NAHB members and local home builders associations fight inaccurate media reports and get the facts about their particular housing markets out to buyers.
Armed with these resources ― including market profile statistics for 360 individual markets, analyses of key economic reports, template press releases, talking points and more ― members and HBAs can contact their local media to explain how well their market is doing compared to national statistics.
HBAs have successfully convinced their local media of the viability of their home markets in California, Georgia, New Jersey, Kansas, Connecticut, Florida, Oklahoma and other markets across the country by using Myth Buster resources.
Leaders of local and state home builders associations and their members can build confidence and learn the latest interviewing and presentation techniques to bust myths in their markets through NAHB’s “Spokesperson Training” program during the association's fall board of directors meeting in San Diego in September.
Time is running out. Both sessions were sold out at the spring board of directors meeting and few spaces remain for the fall sessions. Sessions are limited to 12 participants each day
The program includes two different one-day seminars:
- “Interview Skills” — helps participants master strategies for broadcast and print interviews, including message development. Attendees will learn how to give clear, concise answers in a high-pressure, spur-of-the moment interview.
- “Presentation Skills” — focuses on how to organize and deliver a speech or presentation and handle questions and answers.
Session Schedules:
- "Interview Skills" Wednesday, Sept. 24
- "Presentation Skills" Thursday, Sept. 25
Each seminar is led by professional communication consultants who have more than 30 years of experience training NAHB members on the critical issues they face every day.
Interview Skills and Presentation Skills cost $495 per person for each one-day seminar.
More than 15,000 NAHB leaders have taken Spokesperson Training since the program began in 1979.
