GCAA Leaders Attend the National Apartment Association Capital Conference

What is the Capitol Conference?

The apartment industry plays a critical role in our country – providing housing for more than 85 million Americans. In March, 2010, GCAA members will be playing an active part in strengthening the profession by making their voices heard in the halls of the United States Congress. Every year, NAA brings apartment leaders together in Washington, DC, to meet face-to-face with their congressional representatives. Your Association leaders are proud to be a part of the movement to encourage the nation’s leaders to put rental housing issues on the top of their priority list and help the multifamily industry build strength in numbers!
