Distance Learning Arrives at NAHB

Local HBAs can take advantage of two great ways to get education out to members economically and conveniently. The NAHB University of Housing is offering new Audio Seminars focused on timely, hot building industry topics. Two very successful Audio Seminars have been offered this year: "Green Building as Good Business" and "Get Hesitant Boomers to Buy Now." Both seminars featured a panel of experts who gave presentations, then answered questions from participants across the country. More Audio Seminars are on the way! Look for a Remodeling Audio Seminar on lead paint rules coming up Tuesday, October 28 (date subject to change).

The seminars can be purchased by any individual, business or HBA, who can then include as many participants as they wish with just one registration fee per site. An added bonus: most seminars are good for continuing education credit! Contact Mary Knowles at 800-368-5242 x8057, 202-266-8057 or mknowles@nahb.com for details on upcoming audio seminars.
