Education Committee Seeks Roundtable Topics

 
The Federation's Education Committee will meet early in September to consider topics for the 2010 Affordable Housing Roundtables.  The Roundtables, typically one and a half hours in length, focus on specific topics of interest to developers, property and asset managers, resident services personnel and others interested in affordable housing.  They typically cover case studies, specific "how to" information, new programs, financing or industry trends.  If you have a topic that you think would be of interest to you and other Federation members or their staff in 2010, please contact Kelley Dukat at kelley@housingsandieog.org. Suggestions are needed by September 4.
 
Also, the Committee is welcoming new members. Contact Kelley if you are interested in learning more.
