CMM will teach you proven strategies for keeping your property ship-shape while avoiding costly, reactive maintenance.

Certified Manager of Housing Seminar

October 7, 2009toOctober 9, 2009

When it comes to successful housing management, compliance is only half the battle. CMH focuses on the other half—the decision-making, crisis management, and other skills that can’t be found in a government handbook. At the end of the day, the efficiency and bottom-line profitability of your property may have more to do with how well you understand the art of good management than with how well you understand the minutiae
of HUD regulations. CMH uses case studies and role-playing to teach participants how to think beyond compliance.

This course is provided by the National Center for Housing Management and fulfills the community and housing management pillar requirement of NCHM’s RHM certification.

Supervisors of Organizers Workshop

September 16, 2009toSeptember 18, 2009

New York, NY | presented by the Midwest Academy | More Info

If you have good staff who do fine work, and you know that you can get them up to the next level but it just hasn’t happened yet, then this workshop is for you!

Why is it that some organizers seem to catch on naturally while others don’t? Is it genetic or somewhere along the line was there a difference in the supervision they received? This workshop gives supervisors a chance to step back from the missing timesheets and meetings on the run in order to discuss supervision as the major and most consistent form of training that organizers receive.
