Are you passionate about non-profit housing? Are you eager to share your wisdom? If so, this post is for you! The Housing Central 2024 conference team is preparing for this year’s event for the annual Housing Central Conference, and are seeking proposals for education session speakers and housing tours.

Looking for range of topics…

They are seeking articulate speakers with a depth of knowledge in on or more topics related to community housing. Education sessions generally focus on the leadership, operations, and maintenance of non-profit housing organizations and buildings. However, other issues relevant to the affordable housing sector are encouraged.

… and a diversity of speakers

The call for proposals isn’t limited to housing professionals. Housing Central actively encourages submissions from a diverse array of backgrounds. Groundbreaking insights can emerge from any corner of the community, whether a non-profit manager, government program admission, academic researchers, or private sector planners.

Individuals with lived experiences are especially encouraged to submit a proposal. Whether you’re a board member offering invaluable perspectives on community cohesion or a resident sharing insights on relocation, your contributions are invaluable to the discourse.
