Welcome to NBN Online: A Message from NAHB President Kent Conine

Let me be the first to welcome you to Nation’s Building News Online. Each week, this is the place to find breaking news about the housing industry and information you can rely upon to improve your business.

We know you only have a limited amount of time to learn about the many things that are happening in this industry, so we have devised a format that delivers the news to you quickly and efficiently. We realize that knowledge is key to staying ahead of the fierce competition in today’s marketplace, so NBN Online is bringing you ideas you can use. In information technology and systems, financial management, property management, jobs and personnel, sales and marketing and much, much more, NAHB is a vast storehouse of support and expertise. Throughout this online publication, you will find links to more extensive information as well as contacts at NAHB who can assist you in your ongoing efforts to stay on top of issues that affect your bottom line.

I urge you to make this your publication. On the issues that count, NAHB is leading the way towards policies that guarantee the topmost national priority for homeownership, housing affordability and rental housing opportunity. We continue to succeed, often against great odds, because we are an organization more than 205,000 strong fighting for a dream that our fellow citizens cherish greatly. Nation’s Building News Online is the place for those grassroots members to express their views and concerns and to share their knowledge with their fellow members. With the click of a mouse, you can send in your letters to the editor or contact the editorial staff to share whatever is on your mind. You can also forward NBN Online to your employees and friends and associates in the industry. Tell them to hit the subscription link at the bottom of the page if they want to receive this publication directly.

So please take a look, and I invite you back week after week to watch us grow into an indispensable resource for you and your business.
