ARLINGTON, Va. / October 4, 2010 – Did you know that members of Congress consistently rank a constituent’s personal visit on Capitol Hill as having the most influence on making a decision on an undecided issue?
Then what are you waiting for? Join hundreds of fellow members of the apartment industry who will demonstrate strength in numbers when they descend on Washington, D.C. for the annual NAA Capitol Conference, March 13 – 16.
This winter is a critical time for the apartment industry’s collective voice to be heard. The reform of Government-Sponsored Enterprises (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) will be a major topic during the 112th Congress. Here is your opportunity to tell your elected officials that access to capital must continue and reform must address the distinct needs of the apartment industry.
The Capitol Conference combines special events with nationally known political analysts and commentators, networking events, industry forums and legislative briefings and culminates in NAA members’ visits to Capitol Hill. The March 2010 meeting was the best attended ever, with 427 NAA leaders participating in a record 209 visits to members of Congress from 24 states.
