Connect with NAHB Peers to Solve Business Challenges

Membership
Published

Every NAHB member at one point in their career has encountered a challenge that can be overcome by being connected to an expert, mentor or colleague in the industry. To help members get the answers they need to help their business thrive, NAHB Connect is an online community exclusively for NAHB members. The forum provides an opportunity to have honest peer-to-peer discussions, seek or give advice on the industry, and learn and share ideas.

NAHB members join NAHBConnect for a variety of reasons, including:

Peer-to-Peer Member Connection
Meet like-minded individuals who may be struggling with the same industry challenges as you are. NAHB Connect is a space to connect online for aha moments, asking questions, providing advice, discovering NAHB and industry events and more.

Customized Engagement
NAHB Connect is an online member community focusing on industry-relevant content and discussions. Rather than sifting through tons of noise on social media, NAHB Connect is a targeted community that gives you exactly what you need when you need it.

Industry Trends
Community conversations provide more insight into trends and the industry's issues. You get to listen into and participate in many conversations, observe discussion topics, hear concerns and feedback and discover solutions.

Find Relevant Events
While the primary focus of NAHB Connect is peer-to-peer discussions, the platform also includes a calendar of virtual and in-person events, education sessions and more. Some are member-only events, but some are industry events that may be important for you to have on your calendar.
