THE NAHB ASSOCIATION Management Conference

I am writing from Scottsdale, Arizona because I was fortunate to receive a NAHB scholarship to attend their Association Management Conference. The NAHB Association Management Conference (AMC) is the premier professional development conference for HBA Executive Officers (EOs)/CEOs. At AMC, EOs gather to learn, share their experiences and network with peers to discuss challenges, crowdsource solutions and exchange best practices. AMC offers:

• Ways to strengthen your membership through strategic recruitment and retention planning • Learn the latest in advocacy, non-dues revenue generation, governance and more • Share experiences, learn best practices and discuss solutions to common challenges with other EOs • Create a network of Eos to connect with, learn from and discuss ideas throughout the year • Actionable steps to build more efficient and effective associations for members This year’s conference was amazing, offering 25+ sessions and the sessions I attended included:

• Opening keynote – Influence Redefined….in today’s virtual, in-person and hybrid world communication with influence is harder and more critical than it’s ever been.

Stacey Hanke, Best Selling Author, Communications & Influence Strategist, Forbes and New York Times Contributor, Executive Coach and Leadership Expert shared the best practices on communication to influence others to take action. • Culture First Mindset-Creating an Atmosphere of Compassion, Connection and Clarity • Crafting Mutually Beneficial Volunteer Opportunities • State of Affairs – included presentations by NAHB Senior Officers • How to Create a Cult-Like Following for your Association • Volunteer Leadership and Development • Control Chaos – Minimize Time and Maximize Energy • Executive Officer Idea-A-Thon • Magic of Leadership – Steps to Take You Association to the Next Level • Closing Keynote – Quit Hitting Snooze and Take Action - How to recognize and address three things EO’s often “snooze on” and tips for addressing them head-on. How to have a greater awareness of what to prioritize for a more successful and less stressful year. Courtney Ramsey, MBA, Professional in Human Resources, Certified Training

Professional with ATD, Leadership Development Consultant. Once again AMC was great, and I am excited to implement some of the things I learned. It was extremely hot here. Right now, as I am writing this (8/11 7:42 p.m.) it is 102 degrees. It is still in the high 80’s – lower 90’s during the night. It was not dry heat that everyone told me about because they had more rain the day before I got there than they had all last year, so it was humid. I found out that they had a monsoon the night before, so the humidity was high. There was another monsoon my first night, but I slept through it (:
