Editor... In this issue: NAHB Spokesperson Training Available at Builders’ Show
NAHB members attending the 2007 International Builders' Show in Orlando, Fla. have an opportunity to participate in NAHB Spokesperson Training and learn how to improve their public communications skills. Nearly 20,000 NAHB leaders have taken the training to learn how to effectively convey a message to the public through the news media and make public presentations. “It was very, very useful,” says Tama Theis, a builder from Saint Cloud, Minn. “The small groups were easy to work with and I would highly recommend it to other builders.” “I really enjoyed the program and it should be very useful,” agrees Buffalo, N.Y. builder Kevin Curry. A limited number of slots remain open for a class on interview skills on Monday, Feb. 5 and on presentation skills on Wednesday, Feb. 7. The former helps participants master strategies for broadcast and print interviews, including message development; the latter focuses on how to organize and deliver a speech or presentation and handle questions and answers. The seminars are led by professional communication consultants, each with more than 30 years of experience training NAHB members on the issues that home builders, home builders association staff and affiliate members face every day. Each 7.5-hour seminar is limited to 12 participants. The seminars include instruction, skill-building exercises and on-camera practice interviews and presentations. The registration fee is $475.00 per person for each one-day seminar. Registrations are being accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. To reserve your space, e-mail Niki Clark in NAHB Public Affairs, or call her at 800-368-5242 x8061.
