Register Online for Spokesperson Training at IBS

Online registration is now available for NAHB Spokesperson Training sessions at the upcoming 2010 International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas in January.

Members can now register securely online with a credit card for one or both of the Spokesperson Training sessions — Interview Skills and Presentation Skills — on the NAHB Web site.  

In the Interview Skills session, NAHB members will learn how to give clear, concise answers while in a high-pressure, spur-of-the moment interview. The training also will help participants master strategies for broadcast and print interviews, including message development.

Members attending the Presentation Skills session will learn how to confidently prepare and deliver dynamic presentations to any audience. The session focuses on how to organize and deliver a speech and presentation with accompanying question and answer sessions.

International Builders’ Show Session Schedules:

  • Interview Skills — Monday, Jan. 18
  • Interview Skills — Tuesday, Jan. 19
  • Presentation Skills — Wednesday, Jan. 20


Each one-day session is from 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Registration is limited to 12 participants.

The fee for each session is $495 per person.

Each session 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.

More than 15,000 NAHB leaders have taken Spokesperson Training since the program began in 1979.
