You are cordially invited to attend the Fall Leadership Summit (please reference schedule and registration links below) which will be held October 16-18 at the Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago.

This event was purposely planned to coincide with The Remodeling Show which will be held over the same dates at McCormick Place in Chicago. The schedule allows members to take advantage of the conference sessions and trade show planned at McCormick Place.

The kickoff of the Fall Leadership Summit (October 16, 7-9 PM) will feature Dean West providing an environmental scan of challenges facing associations and an overview of the Strategic Renewal Project. This will be the first opportunity to share some data on this important project.

The sessions on October 17 are primarily focused on changes in the industry and the business challenges our members.  Full understanding of the challenges of our members will help us serve them into the future.

The session on October 18 provides us as leaders of NARI to discuss and to shape the future of the organization toward NARI 2020.  As the only national organization dedicated exclusively to the remodeling industry, we are committed to remaining relevant and valuable to our members. We need you here!
