Plans are now underway for our
2012 Spring Conference!

The Oregon AHMA spring conference provides one-stop continuing education shopping for HUD, Rural Development, and Tax Credit, affordable housing providers. The 2012 conference will feature the training expertise of

  • Jeff Boyd, Maintenance
  • Theresa Easbey, Tax Credit
  • Andy Hahs, Landlord-Tenant Law
  • Rod Hansen, USDA/Rural Development
  • Diane Hess, Fair Housing Council of Oregon
  • Michelle Kitchen, Government Affairs, NAHMA
  • Anita Moseman, HUD Occupancy
  • Geri Steward, Farm Labor Occupancy

Also in the works are special classes for owners/management agents, Rural Development occupancy focus sessions, and plenary sessions that speak to the in-the-trenches challenges our managers and maintenance personnel face every day on the job.

Cash door prizes, free head/neck chair massages, and a lively industry trade show are some of the extras that attendees can look forward to, along with the opportunity to enjoy the camaraderie of their colleagues.

Oregon AHMA is now a Certified Continuing Education Provider with the Oregon Real Estate Agency, and many of the classes at our conference will qualify for Continuing Education Credit with the Agency.

So… when, and where?
The 2012 Annual Spring Conference will be held May 16, 17, & 18 at Valley River Inn & Conference Center in Eugene, Oregon. Our annual Industry Trade Show, held in conjunction with the conference, will be held May 17.

Registration materials will be posted on this page by late January, so stay tuned!

Oregon AHMA Education Testimonials

“This was my first time at a housing conference, and I loved every moment.”
“Thank you for doing what you do. These conference seminars are a great help when we go back home – new insights!”
“The Tax Credit class is relevant to my job. I appreciated the updates and was able to ask questions and get clarifications in person. Thank you.”
“I started at my job less than a year ago, and I found all the information at the conference maintenance track very useful.”
“Good refresher on fair housing laws. The speaker was very easy to listen to, and she made everything clear.”
“Thanks to the Fair Housing Council of Oregon speaker for answering questions I’ve had for awhile. I liked the small group activities and the entire session.”
“The REAC instructor very clearly, efficiently, and effectively presented the information. He was very good at explaining issues. The visual aids and printed materials were very helpful.”
“The presenter’s personality enhanced the presentation. The material was totally understandable and clear. I like the presenter’s comfortable style- it helped everyone in the audience understand.”
“I liked the applicant/tenant interviewing section of the basic occupancy class. The information on medical expenses and calculating household rent exercises was very helpful.”
“I liked the way the speaker explained the techniques and discussed valid feelings versus actual facts. It was good to learn to see conflict as an opportunity to resolve a situation instead of a discomfort.”
“Communication on Conflict Resolution added perspective and tools that can be taken for granted over the years of experience, but it emphasized the key tools that keep resident relationships that work well.”
“I appreciate the wonderful opportunity to not only learn but also to meet and share ideas. Thank you all!”
“Thank you for the Life & Fire Safety Training. The topic, instructors & location were great."
“We always look forward to your skill building classes.”
“Your classes always cover everything I need, and what you have is always great.”

“I especially want to commend you on the quality of the classes you arrange and how organized everything is, and to give you a big “Thank you” for the hard work you perform for your members out here trying to make sense of it all.”
