  Attending NAHB’s 2007 Legislative Conference Could Be the Best Business Decision That You Make
Decisions that affect your company’s bottom line are being made every day in the halls of Congress. Environmental regulations, tax policy, soaring health care costs and many other issues can add thousands of dollars to your annual operating budget, and Congress weighs in on each and every one of them.

The NAHB Legislative Conference provides a unique opportunity to discuss builder issues on Capitol Hill that will have a dramatic impact on your business and your bottom line.

The Legislative Conference also gives you the status of a Washington insider, allowing you to speak face-to-face with your members of Congress and to take a stand on the issues that affect you.

Take advantage of this special opportunity to educate your lawmakers on the issues that are impacting your business, costing you money and driving up the price of new homes.

Attending the 2007 Legislative Conference will provide you an unparalleled opportunity to:

  1. Lobby members of Congress to protect your business
  2. Establish lasting relationships with your elected federal officials
  3. Share builder concerns in a national forum in Washington, D.C.
  4. Learn the latest policy developments on the key issues affecting your business
  5. Demonstrate your industry’s commitment to responsible policies, pragmatic reforms, effective programs and providing the resources necessary to meet our nation’s ongoing housing needs
  6. Network and share business strategies with your peers
  7. Learn how to be an effective advocate for your business and your industry
  8. Make your views known on Capitol Hill
  9. Do your part to ensure that NAHB’s issues are heard by Washington policymakers  
  10. Galvanize a united front on Capitol Hill

Your participation can make a difference! In these challenging times – when other interest groups are clamoring to push their agenda in Washington – a strong builder turn out on June 6th will send a powerful message to members of Congress: Housing must remain a national priority.

Come to Washington and show your members of Congress the great work you do back home in building your communities. Urge your lawmakers to adopt sensible policies to enable your business to thrive and allow the nation’s home builders to fulfill their mission of providing safe, decent, affordable housing to all Americans.

We look forward to seeing you in Washington. For more information and to register for NAHB’s 2007 Legislative Conference, log on to www.nahb.org/legcon or call Jessi Boyce at 800-368-5242 x8334. [ return to top ]
