Knowing how to control media interviews and make impressive presentations are critical skills, especially as media coverage of the housing industry these days is often negative. How can you make sure the messages you want heard are getting across to your target audiences? NAHB's Spokesperson Training Program can help. At IBS in Orlando, NAHB will offer two Interview Skills seminars (Monday & Tuesday February 11 & 12) and two Presentation Skills seminars (Wednesday & Thursday February 13 & 14).    To reserve your space, download a registration form here and return it to NAHB Public Affairs by e-mail or fax to (202) 266-8131.
