NAHB Spring Board of Directors & Legislative Conference
April 17 - 24 Washington D.C.
Have you ever wanted an opportunity to address our Nevada congressional body at their offices in D.C.? This conference is that opportunity.
Every year BAWN, as well as the other HBAs in our country, go to D.C. to discuss what they are doing for or to our industry. Last year we talked about NOL, Card Check, First Time Home Buyers Credit and anything else that NAHB has put on the prepared talking points list.
We have been fortunate that our Representatives and Senators have made time to meet with us and tell us what they are doing. As well as listen to us about our concerns.
This year I believe that many issues that are important to us, Americans as well as Construction Industry representatives, will be on the docket.
Make plans to go to Washington D.C. this April and be part of the solution.
Call me at the BAWN office for more info.
