Commissioners Fundamentals and Ethics Seminar

COMMISSIONERS!  EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS!

Registration Form

The Michigan Chapter holds exclusive licensing from National NAHRO to offer high-quality NAHRO professional development programs for Commissioners right here in Michigan. Commissioners can obtain the training they need to effectively discharge their responsibilities on the Board and save time without breaking the bank (and budget) traveling to  high-priced venues in other parts of the country.

Commissioners' Fundamentals and Ethics and Housing and Community Development Commissioner trainings are being scheduled to take place in Battle Creek, Michigan. Completion of both seminars qualify commissioners to receive certification from NAHRO, as a NAHRO Certified Commissioner (NCC). Participants may attend either seminar at a cost of $350, or the combined seminars at a cost of $600.

Space is limited! Sign up soon!
