Tell Us What You Think — Comments, Suggestions, Successes

NAHB Multifamily is looking to identify specific membership needs during the downturn. Our best resource is you. Tell us your stories, send us your suggestions , let us know what's working and where we can improve. We want to help get your stories out there!

Here are some questions to get you started:

What information/resources are most important to you during this time? What kind of education, web seminar, and teleconference topics would you like to see?
What changes have you made to your business (diversification, business
practices, marketing strategies, green building implementation etc.) to successfully navigate through the economic crisis?
How do you think this stimulus package will benefit your business and condo sales? Is it too early to determine any direct effects?

NAHB created a Web page with links with links to everything association members need to know about the $787 billion economic stimulus package that was signed into law in February. We encourage you to use the site to find information and resources on what is in the stimulus package and what it means for your business.

Visit www.nahb.org/2009stimulus. Members who have for-sale assets also can take advantage of marketing materials about the tax credit, available at www.nahb.org/taxcreditmaterials.

We hope everyone doing for-sale product was able to tune in to the Tax Credit teleconference on March 16 to learn more about what the Stimulus package can do for your business and how to market the credit to promote condo sales. If not, click here to listen to a recording of the teleconference, which is now available online at http://www.nahb.org/economicstimulus.

Please email your thoughts and suggestions, and stories to Erin Grant, or contact her at 800-368-5242 x8557.
