This year’s conference offers an excellent opportunity to receive essential and timely training, establish new partnerships, and network with your colleagues at a world class location. There is no higher calling than working to make a difference in people’s lives. Our conference theme suggests that we can do this most effectively by working together.

A new feature this year is a full-day Leadership Summit for new and veteran Executive Directors and Deputy Directors on Wednesday, May 16th. Additionally, Adrianne Todman, national NAHRO’s new CEO and Cris White, CHFA CEO, will be attending to share important information about the state of our industry and what we need to do to remain vibrant and relevant.

The conference planning committee has also organized 42 breakout sessions in a variety of areas including Housing Choice Vouchers, Homelessness, Housing Management, Project Based Section 8 Contracts, Community Development, Professional Development, Rehab, Resident Services, Housing Development, Commissioners and Finance. Executive Directors, commissioners, management staff and line staff will all benefit from inspiring sessions, timely workshops, excellent networking opportunities and fun-filled events. Read on for complete details.
