NAHB members who are planning on attending the association’s upcoming spring board of directors meeting in Washington, D.C., will have the opportunity to hear from builders who are having success in securing acquisition, development and construction financing and in getting homes sold in today's challenging marketplace

Builders will share their winning strategies with participants in a newly scheduled panel discussion — "Builder Focus: Proven Strategies for Success."

The panel will be moderated by NAHB Chairman Bob Nielsen.

Presenters will include:

• Don Ferrier, founder and president of Ferrier Custom Homes in Fort Worth, Texas
• Mick Galatio, founder and president of Desert Wind Homes in Las Vegas
• Phil Kean, president of Phil Kean Designs, Inc. in Winter Park, Fla.

• Ivar Pietri, chairman and CEO of Peregrine Development Co., president of Klassik Builders Inc. and NAHB national area chairman from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

No prior registration is necessary, although seating will be limited.

The program will be held from 7:30-8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 18, in Marriott Ballroom Salon 1, Lobby Level, in the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel.
