The National Association of Home Builders is a Washington-based trade association representing more than 140,000 members involved in home building, remodeling, multifamily construction, property management, subcontracting, design, housing finance, building product manufacturing and other aspects of residential and light commercial construction. NAHB is affiliated with 700 state and local home builders associations around the country. NAHB's builder members will construct about 80 percent of the new housing units projected for this year. The Business Management and Information Technology Committee is the leading builder resource for business and construction management, finance, information technology and human resources. Its mission is to improve the skills of NAHB members, develop educational programs, prepare manuals such as the Cost of Doing Business Study, and connect members with experts in areas of accounting and financial management, business administration, sales and marketing, manufacturing and production, and business automation and technology tools. Five subcommittees are dedicated to the key areas within any home building or remodeling business: Building, Operations and Production; Financial Management; General and Administrative; Information Technology Integration and Sales & Marketing.
