Who We Are

Rising Housing Leaders

Rising Housing Leaders is a professional network for early-career professionals with two to seven years of experience in the housing industry or a field that intersects with housing. The network hosts monthly meetings and encourages members to shape the agenda based on their individual interests. Activities include educational opportunities, volunteer work, networking, and social gatherings such as happy hours. Members are empowered to take an active role in their professional development, while connections and collaboration within the industry are fostered.
