The State Representatives serve as voting members of the NAHB Board of Directors and serve 2-year staggered terms (50% elected each year). They serve to keep NAHB leadership informed of key developments within their state which may have national implications; and they provide service and information on issues of NAHB policy to the affiliated associations within their respective states. State Representatives also work closely with the National Area Chairmen in seeking solutions to challenges and issues encountered within the Federation.
