Monday, September 29: 10:30am – 11:45am
Participants will hear from residents who currently reside in affordable housing. Hear from residents who are Chairmen of their local boards, and have used their voices on NAHRO State, Regional and National Board as leaders. Participants will hear the unique stories of this dynamic, resilient group of resident leaders, representing four different NAHRO Regions. Panelists will discuss and take questions related to: why lived experiences on housing boards are important; how resident leadership promotes improved agency vision, mission and values and how to remove barriers, address bias, enhance success, motivation and trust among residents.
