What People Had to Say
- Tremendous conference in a word!
- There was plenty of time for folks to network and discuss what was going on with their portfolios and situations. In this very difficult time, I think there was a good amount of time devoted to dealing with the crisis but also for how to do what we need to do on a day-to-day basis..
- The presenters and moderators were very knowledgeable and were able to explain their topics in a way that even the newest attendee could understand.
- Timely information on all aspects facing affordable housing; something for every part of the organization. Sharing experiences from different markets
- Hand out materials on thumb drives!
- The breakout sessions were most helpful. I think it was small and more personable.
- This was my second CHAM Conference. The first I attended in New Orleans, I was very new to Asset Management and I didn’t know the terms and couldn’t speak the language. After learning and understanding the terms now, I was able to take this year many ideas to make my job easier. I really enjoyed this conference.
- This conference gave me the opportunity to meet with experts in my industry. Through educational sessions and networking events, I was able to get solutions to some of the toughest challenges I have in my portfolios. I will definitely be back next year, prepared with a list of topics I want to discuss with my peers.
- I want to take a moment from my busy schedule to le you know how thrilled I was with the sessions!
- Excellent! Topic and leadership once again, met my expectations (which are high!) Location was absolutely perfect – suggest repeating location.
- CHAM is the one conference I consider the most important to attend each year.
Thank You for Attending! We promise to use more descriptive workshop names next time!!!
