The Multifamily Council is gearing up for its professional designation course the Certified Leasing Professional (CLP.) If you are in the industry and do not currently hold this designation, you should strongly consider doing so as it adds credibility and expertise to your and your company's name. The CLP will be held on Sept 21-23 at the HBA. It will also include a Fair Housing module which can be taken separately for those who need it.

 

Stay tuned for more info on next month's Registered in Apartment Management (RAM) Designation and don't miss details on the MFC's involvement with the National Night Against Crime this year on October 11th!!

Next General Membership Meeting 

September 20th @ 11:30 am 

Smilie's Restaurant, 5725 Jefferson Highway  

 

The Membership Committee is ecstatic about all of the new Builder members that are joining our chapter these past few months. We are doing tremendous thanks to the SIF and its VIP program. The VIP program essentially is drawing in new builders to join the association by paying its first year dues! Since the program started we have been adding in average about 10-15 new builder members every month... This is fantastic!!

We strongly encourage you to come to Smilie's and take in a General Membership Meeting. We are there every month, and for $15 dollars you can get a great meal and hear a great speaker while mingling with your fellow new and veteran members. The next GMM is on Tuesday, Sept 20 @ Smile's in Harahan. Speaker to discuss Mortgage and Construction Lending. We hope to see you all there!! .
