NMHC’s Emerging Leaders Group is designed to cultivate future leaders in the apartment industry. The program offers national and regional networking events that allow emerging leaders an opportunity to meet and interact with their peers. It also provides forums where participants can meet and learn from top industry leaders who share their insight, lessons learned and steps taken to achieve their success.
Participation in Emerging Leaders activities is available to all employees from NMHC member firms who are under the age of 40 and have at least five years experience. Because the program is primarily an open networking program, member firms may have as many young leaders as they would like sign up. There is no limit on the number of employees who can be added to our database. Sign up to participate.
2019 Events
The Emerging Leaders Program hosts regional Speaker Series events each year. These events feature industry leaders in a fireside chat format followed by a reception and standalone regional networking receptions. To create high-level networking opportunities, participation is typically limited to approximately 75 people.
The 2019 schedule is:
- May 14 | Architectural Boat Tour in Chicago, IL
- June 19 | New York City, NY
- October 10 | Oakland, CA
- November 6 | Atlanta, GA
- November 13 | Dallas, TX
Emerging Leader PAC Program
Housing policy is at the forefront of many policy discussions in Washington, D.C., and NMHC continues to advocate on behalf of the multifamily industry. One of the keys to NMHC’s successful advocacy strategy is NMHC PAC. NMHC PAC is the premier fund aggressively pursuing the election and re-election of elected officials who work to improve, preserve and promote the multifamily industry. The NMHC PAC ensures the multifamily industry can have a direct impact on the policies that affect how your company operates and how successful it can be. NMHC’s Emerging Leaders have always been an important part of NMHC PAC.
In 2019, NMHC created the Emerging PAC Leaders program to recognize the contributions of the NMHC Emerging Leaders. Any under-40 employee of an NMHC member firm who contributes to the PAC will automatically be added to the program and will benefit from special recognition and unique opportunities.
