Former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.) will provide a candid look on politics, the economy and the hard choices that America’s leaders face during the 2014 NAA Capitol Conference’s keynote luncheon on March 11. His address is entitled "The Moment of Truth: Confronting Issues in America." Known for his quick wit, Simpson addresses controversial topics on the national agenda with honesty and provides sensible solutions for moving the country forward. 

Invest in your political capital by participating in the 2014 NAA Capitol Conference—the only national event focused on apartment industry advocacy. The annual conference will be held on March 11 in Washington, D.C., followed by the industry’s Lobby Day on Capitol Hill on March 12 (The spring NAA Board of Directors and committee meetings precede the conference on March 9 and 10.). Registration is now open at http://capitol-naa.naahq.org/.

The NAA Capitol Conference will prepare you to carry your message on major industry issues as an informed, effective, confident advocate. This year there will be a new special event, expert national speakers on policy and politics, and more training and educational sessions for new and long-time attendees alike. 

Despite there being no oceans in Colorado (plenty of beautiful mountains, though!), there will be no shortage of sharks during the 2014 NAA Education Conference & Exposition, June 18-21 in Denver. 

NAA is proud to announce that Barbara Corcoran and Daymond John, two of the stars of ABC’s hit TV show "Shark Tank," will be the Friday General Session speakers, June 20, from 9:45 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.

Corcoran, who started her real estate business with a $1,000 loan and then built the largest and most successful company in New York City, will share her personal advice, insights and anecdotes on creating a powerful brand. John, regarded as one of the most sought-after branding experts and keynote speakers in fashion and business today, will share his knowledge and business genius with NAA Conference attendees. 

After Corcoran and John energize your entrepreneurial spirit, three lucky NAA attendees will come up on stage and pitch their idea or business concept to the Sharks—LIVE during the General Session. The Sharks will do what they do best—critique and evaluate the pitches and then, along with the audience's help, will pick the lucky winner. For more information on how you can make your pitch to The Sharks, visit the www.naahq.org.
