Last week, members from across the country spent two-and-a-half days in Washington, D.C., for NMHC’s Fall Board of Directors and Advisory Committee Meeting. This year’s event featured one of the strongest program line-ups ever-more than 25 members of Congress participated-and offered executives a beltway insider’s look at politics in the nation's capital.
In addition to discussions of important business trends like e-commerce and home sharing, members enjoyed quality networking, including a night out at National’s stadium and a rooftop reception with stunning views of the Capitol and the National Mall. Here is a look at some of the highlights. |
