In this issue: NAHB TO SHUT DOWN OPERATIONS THANKSGIVING WEEK (NOV. 23-27)As a cost savings effort, the National Association of Home Builders will be closed for business for eight days in 2009. Under the plan, NAHB shut down its operations for the final week of August and will shut down the three days prior to the Thanksgiving holiday (November 23, 24 and 25). In addition, all staff compensation has been cut by a commensurate amount. NAHB President Jerry Howard reported to the NAHB Board of Directors, in May, that “this shut down plan, along with other cost-cutting measures already adopted, is being implemented to help the Association save millions of dollars.” During this shut down, your NAHB staff contacts will not be in the office or generally available via phone or e-mail. Staff will answer any messages received during the closure when they return to the Office and normal business operations are resumed. Should you have a question or concern, during this time period, please contact Therese Crahan or leave a message with the NAHB Service Center via phone or e-mail at: 800/368-5242 ext 0 or info@nahb.org. Again, responses to any waiting e-mails will not take place until NAHB returns to normal business operations. Your flexibility and patience is appreciated during this challenging time.
