Women in Multifamily Networking Series

This program is for NMHC Members only.

The Great Resignation. Digital transformation. Hybrid vs. office. Burnout. There is a great deal of concern and confusion in the workplace right now, let alone in the sector, that can make building and maintaining networks for professional growth seem unachievable. While companies are making great strides in reshaping talent programs for a future workforce, challenges remain when managing experiences for gender diverse employees to keep up with career pressures.

The 2022 NMHC Women in Multifamily Networking Series is designed to create exceptional and inclusive networking opportunities for women within the NMHC membership network. Topics for this year’s program series will focus on discussions about how to identify individual professional and business development opportunities alongside conversations of emerging market and property operations trends.

NMHC Women in Multifamily – Leadership through Tight Market Conditions

Through an intimate moderated conversation, attendees got to know women working at the apex of domestic public policy. Our guests shared their first-hand accounts of pinpointing priority issues and leading bipartisan solutions to matters of public and economic policy. And this wouldn’t be a women’s event if we didn’t discuss the gender disparity in politics and the need for increasing women’s engagement in civic and political action to advance inclusive, equitable policies and regulations for workplaces and communities across the country.
