What will the future hold for the housing industry in Kentucky? We are pleased to announce that our guest speaker will be National Association of Home Builders Chief Economist David Crowe. A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Crowe received his PhD. in Economics from the University of Kentucky.

Crowe, who speaks to standing room only crowds at the International Builders Show will use the intimate setting of our summer board meeting to impart his take on the economic role of the housing industry during the next few years. Those attending the event will be able to have some one on one time to ask questions after the presentation.

Also a grand night is planned on Thursday evening at the Evan Williams Bourbon Experience for our Political Action Fundraiser, where we will be giving out prizes all evening including the Grand Prize of $6,000. There will be tours of the distillery as well as tastings during the evening. NAHB Third Vice Chair Randy Noel, of Louisiana will be joining us for the event.
