Arlington, VA, Oct. 7, 2009 - For the first time, the National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA) will hold its annual summer meeting in conjunction with the 2010 National Apartment Association (NAA) Education Conference & Exposition on June 22-26 in exciting New Orleans.
The 2010 NAA Education Conference & Exposition is the largest event in the multifamily housing industry and includes world-class educators and a star-studded lineup of speakers.
Through this partnership, both conferences will address the critical needs of affordable housing communities and the apartment industry as a whole. Discounts are available to attendees who register for both conferences.
The NAA Conference & Exposition is essential to smart asset management for owners and managers of LIHTC, Section 8, 202 or 236 properties. Conference sessions will include the latest information on important affordable housing topics such as REAC Inspections, Evictions, Fair Housing Complaints, Multi-Layered Financing, LEP Best Practices and Preservation Tools, among others. NAA’s conference will also feature panelists providing insight about the latest federal and state regulatory and legislative updates.
At the NAHMA meeting, scheduled June 23, discussions will focus on public policy related to federal legislative and regulatory initiatives that impact all of the affordable housing programs, from HUD programs (project-based Section, Section 8 tenant vouchers, Section 202 senior housing, and Section 811 special needs housing); to the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program; to Rural Housing Service programs (Sections 515, 538 and the revitalization program).
Among the general session speakers at the 2010 NAA Conference is the 43rd U.S. President George W. Bush, as well as the Editor of Fast Company magazine Bill Taylor, who will speak about management trends, and Bruce Kimbrell of the Disney Institute, who will speak about customer service. The conference also features industry-related tracks for all types of apartment professionals from executives, to onsite managers to leasing agents to maintenance technicians.
Attending the 2010 NAA Education Conference gives attendees holding NAHMA designations such as NAHP, SHCM, FHC, CPO and CGPM an opportunity to earn a significant number of their annual renewal credits.
The NAA Exposition welcomes the key companies that provide affordable housing property management software as well as a wide range of apartment community supplies.
