NAHB Committee, Council Appointment Process Underway

NAHB’s committee and council appointment process for 2010 is now well underway.

Members of the association who are interested in serving on a committee or council board of trustees next year can review appointment criteria and complete the application at www.nahb.org/committeeform.

The deadline for all applications is Oct. 11.

All current committee and council members who would like to serve again next year must apply for re-appointment to their respective committees at this time. Appointments are made for only one year.

The NAHB Senior Officers are strongly encouraging members to participate in the leadership of the association.

For more information on the committee appointment process, e-mail Cyndi McKinley at NAHB, or call her at 800-368-5242 x8346.
