Optional Modular Housing Development Bus Tour

Modular construction projects contributed significantly to the redevelopment of New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina.  MHI has arranged for a bus tour of six developments on Tuesday afternoon, February 10th.  During the tour, MHI members will see firsthand the positive impact modular housing has had.  Lenny Kopowski, Director of Government Affairs for the Louisiana Manufactured Housing Association, will be the tour guide and will highlight each project and explain the context in which they were developed.  The locations are all within a very short distance from the Hyatt French Quarter. We are excited to have this opportunity to showcase the industry’s work in New Orleans.  Click here for more information.

About the MHI Winter Meeting

 

Attending MHI’s Winter Meeting is an excellent way to begin the year.  Networking opportunities, updates on industry issues, and setting of association priorities for 2015 will be some of the highlights of the New Orleans meeting.

 

On Monday morning, MHI members will hear Dr. Bernard Weinstein, Associate Director of the Maguire Energy Institute at Southern Methodist University discuss the areas of the country experiencing oil and gas booms and the woefully inadequate housing supply still plaguing those areas.  If in the future, oil and gas exports become a practical reality, global demand for fuel will initiate a sharp increase in U.S. drilling, which will result in an even greater need for housing in remote areas. Dr. Weinstein will discuss areas of the country that may be impacted. 

 

A general session will be held on Monday morning where MHI members will hear from two panels.  The first panel will discuss the DOE proposed energy standards for manufactured housing, and the second will provide industry driven solutions to the HPML Appraisal Rule requirements that will become effective in July.

 

Your registration fee includes the following:

 

-          Networking receptions on Sunday and Monday evenings

-          Breakfast on Monday with speaker Dr. Bernard Weinstein 

-          Panel discussions on current industry issues during Monday’s General Session

-          Lunch on Monday

-          Breakfast on Tuesday

-          Committee, board and division meetings throughout that provide MHI members the opportunity to provide input on important industry issues
