New NAHB Guide Prepares Members for National Leadership Meetings
Along with all of the engaging events that await just around the corner at the 2024 International Builders’ Show (IBS), the coinciding NAHB leadership meetings are a critical component that directly impact the Federation.
During the leadership meetings, which are held three times throughout the year (at IBS and in the spring and fall), NAHB members and leaders gather to discuss key initiatives and make decisions on how to address top issues facing the industry.
The leadership meetings also help members grow professionally by providing helpful business insights and valuable networking opportunities.
To give members — both new and seasoned — a better understanding of the structure and value of these meetings, NAHB has developed the National Meeting Resource Guide. This resource provides an overview of what to expect during the leadership meetings, as well as information on NAHB governance, key industry terms, sample schedules, committee details and more.
Members who are planning to (or even just thinking about) attending the upcoming leadership meetings at IBS are encouraged to review the resource guide to optimize their time and enhance their meeting experience.
