interface actively with HUD and other regulatory agencies to address relevant topics/issues.
disseminate pertinent information to members on legal, legislative, and regulatory issues.
encourage members, as needed, to be proactive on critical items.
In accomplishing our mission, JAHMA maintains an active partnership with the National Affordable Housing Management Association (NAHMA).
