NAA and NMHC Announce Continued Partnership 11.30.2009
The National Multi Housing Council (NMHC) and National Apartment Association (NAA) announced Nov. 18 that they have agreed to continue their joint legislative program, working together to best represent the apartment industry. For nearly two decades, the groups have jointly advocated on behalf of the apartment industry through the NMHC/NAA Joint Legislative Program (JLP). The groups agreed today to extend their unique partnership for at least another three years. NAA President Douglas S. Culkin comments, "The continuation of NAA's longstanding partnership with NMHC provides tremendous value for members of both organizations, as, together, we continue to grow our grassroots campaign, giving the apartment industry a stronger voice on Capitol Hill." Ron Shelton, NAA's 2009 chairman, said, "During this critical legislative time, it is important for our industry to be heard as we continue to advocate for a balanced housing policy in Washington. The tremendous strength in numbers from the NAA/NMHC grassroots efforts enables us to make a powerful impact on policymaking decisions."
