In an industry where work often stays close to home, connecting with peers across the country can help jumpstart your business and add value to what you do every day.

NAHB Connect is a free online platform that helps connect NAHB members with one another for discussions, learning, the sharing of ideas and more.

Members on the NAHB Connect platform engage in discussions on a wide variety of topics. Whether it’s permitting challenges at the local level or comparing and contrasting different building techniques or materials, there’s always someone on the platform who is willing to provide their insight, experience and assistance to help a fellow member.

Popular discussion topics in 2022 included adapting to the “new normal” of the economy, supply chain challenges, marketing strategies and trade show booth ideas.

Not only do NAHB Connect members connect with one another in conversation, but Ask Me Anything events (AMAs) also feature guest experts who are ready and available to answer any question posed by the virtual audience. This is a great opportunity to pick the brain of someone you respect or admire to learn more about the keys to their success.

The start of a new year is a great time to create your profile and join in on the discussion. If you’re not yet a member of NAHB Connect, you can create your profile today at connect.nahb.org. Use the same credentials you use to sign in to nahb.org.
