Conference Tracks

Within the theme, NAHRO will offer sessions in the following topic tracks. Our goal is to offer attendees the best knowledge and tools to do their jobs more effectively and make their organization more successful through a broad range of sessions. We are seeking the very best, most relevant and most thought-provoking ideas pertinent to the key topic areas below. All session proposals are required to select one topic track that best represents the focus of the session's content.

  • Commissioners - focuses on enhancing the commissioner's understanding of their role and responsibility related to advocacy, community leadership, and ethical conduct of agency.
  • Community Revitalization & Development - focuses on economic development, mixed-use development, neighborhood revitalization, and state and local agencies (in terms of "partnerships with" as well as "work undertaken by").
  • Housing & Community Development Finance - focuses on the basics of evaluating and repositioning portfolio in the context of community/market, various financing vehicles/mechanisms, and sophisticated mixed finance successes and best practices (putting the deal together).
  • Organizational Management - focuses on creative ways to meet the agency's performance goals and retain talented and loyal staff in today's environment of reduced resources and funding.
  • Public Housing - focuses on program administration, innovative development strategies, procurements, capital planning, resident services and programming, local economic development, neighborhood economic impact, self-sufficiency, maintenance operations, new technology, and legislative and regulatory matters.
  • Section 8 - focuses on resourceful and innovative program management through agencies' mandatory and discretionary authority and implementation of new laws and regulations.

The topic track descriptions are meant to serve as guidelines to the conference's primary content, but are not meant to exclude relevant related content.
