The Week Ahead, Apr. 18, 2022: Countdown to MBA National Advocacy Conference and 4 Other Things to Know
Good morning and happy Monday! Here’s what’s happening in the real estate finance world this week:
First, the MBA National Advocacy Conference is just about a week away, preceded by the annual MBA State & Local Workshop.
The State and Local Workshop takes place Apr. 25-26 at the Renaissance Downtown Hotel in Washington, D.C., just ahead of NAC. MBA’s State & Local Workshop is a unique opportunity for leaders and key stakeholders of state and local associations to gather and pool their talents, share ideas and compare lessons learned with each other and the national association.
This year’s program, developed with your input, will give attendees opportunities to discuss the operational needs and challenges facing industry associations as well as updates on the latest state issues and trends. For more information and to register, click here.
