NAHRO Professional Development e-Briefing Schedule for 2008

NAHRO’s Professional Development Department has launched “e-Briefings” as a distance learning tool for Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) and other interested housing and community development agencies. The focus of e-Briefings is to provide updated information and guidance on significant and “need to know” topics---including new and relevant HUD policies, as well as local ideas and practices. This e-Briefing initiative replaces and revises the previous audio-short approach.

e-Briefing sessions are scheduled for the second and fourth Tuesday of every month from 1:30 pm to 3 pm ET, including at least fifteen minutes of questions and answers. Resource materials, including power point slides and other URL references, are provided to each participant. Confirmed e-Briefings are noted with the asterisk symbol.
