Customize the NAHB Home Page with Your Favorite Links
NAHB members can now customize the NAHB home page with their favorite links! My NAHB Favorites is a time-saving feature that lets you create shortcuts to your most frequently viewed Web pages and place them directly on the www.nahb.org home page.
You can create favorite links for great Web pages like the NAHB Contact Directory or the Fall Board of Directors meeting page or even use this new tool to bookmark entire sections of content like the new Legal Services section.
To add a page to My NAHB Favorites, you must be logged in. Once you log in, go to any Web page on www.nahb.org that you use frequently and click the “+ Add to My NAHB Favorites” link which appears in the upper right corner of the page. (Please note that this link only appears on Web pages, and not files such as PDFs or Word documents.) A pop-up box will open to confirm that your page has been added to your favorites.
Once you’ve added several pages to your favorites, go to My NAHB > My NAHB Favorites to view your favorite NAHB links. On the My NAHB Favorites page, you can select up to four of your favorite links to appear on the NAHB Home page! Just check the “Show on Home Page” box next to the links you want on the Home page and return to www.nahb.org to see your links displayed. By adding key links to the Home page, you make it possible to return to your most-used pages with just one click.

Online Voter Registration and Early Voting Tools Offered for Members
NAHB recently kicked off four months of election activities with the launch of a comprehensive election Web site for its members and their employees.
The Web site, which helps users in all 50 states register to vote and vote early, positions NAHB as a leading provider of election information for its members, their families and their employees.
This is site a valuable — and free — member benefit. An Election Tool Kit, which includes promotional copy, talking points and a press release, is available online to help members inform their employees about the website.
In addition to the site's early voting and voter registration features, www.nahb.org/elections contains a variety of election resources, including the latest national poll results, information on NAHB's activities at the nominating conventions and candidate contribution information.
The early voting and voter registration areas of the site, accessible directly at http://Homebuilders.HelpingAmericansVote.org, leverage recent voting law changes to help members and their contacts take advantage of convenient voting methods, such as early voting, absentee voting and voting by mail. Although each state has its own set of election laws, three-fourths of them allow their citizens to vote early — some as early as 43 days before Election Day.
For more information on voting laws and requirements in your state or to register to vote or vote early, go to http://homebuilders.helpingamericansvote.org. NAHB members can view the full suite of NAHB's election resources at www.nahb.org/elections.
For more information on Home Builders Helping Americans Vote or the election Web site in general, contact NAHB's Marie Zenner at 800-368-5242 x8279.
