Plans for the NAA Industry Experts Service Announced

Government Affairs is developing the Industry Experts Service to create a resource linking the news media, researchers, Congressional staff and others with NAA members on key industry issues.   While NAA and NMHC staff can always cover the key points of any issue, nothing touches the impact of an actual practitioner explaining the nuts and bolts of how the apartment industry works and how a particular issue affects the individual’s business.  This service not only benefits our advocacy efforts but it expands the profile of the Association and our industry overall.  Members of NAA’s Legislative Committee will lead the charge as experts service volunteers and other NAA members are encouraged to join the bandwagon.
