NMHC recognizes that one of its greatest assets is the expertise within its membership. To leverage that expertise, we are advised by volunteer committees to engage members and solicit their input. As part of NMHC’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Initiative, the committee provides guidance and identifies resources to help diversify the multifamily housing industry.
